BCL, JCD clash at Rokeya University
At least ten people, including a policeman were injured during a clash between the activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) at Begum Rokeya University here yesterday.
The trouble began in the morning when JCD leaders and activists brought out a procession on the campus protesting the class boycott programme announced by BCL demanding resignation of the university's proctor.
Campus sources said the BCL activists swooped on the JCD men, prompting them to retaliate. At least nine activists from both sides were injured. At one stage, BCL drove out the JCD men and took control of the campus.
Later, the JCD activists regrouped outside the campus and brought out a procession. When the procession was heading towards the campus, police intercepted it.
The angry JCD activists hurled brick chips at the policemen, leaving Abdul Wahab, a sub-inspector injured. He was admitted to Rangpur Medical College Hospital.
Law enforcers charged batons on the JCD men and brought the situation under control. They also arrested a JCD activist on the spot.

Locals said, there was a long-standing dispute between Abdul Jalil and Kalu Gazi group over the ownership of a land in the area.
