Clashes Erupt Between Dhaka University Students and Ansar

A violent clash erupted between Dhaka University students and Ansar members near the Bangladesh Secretariat on Sunday night, injuring at least 30 people. The confrontation was triggered by the detention of key figures from the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, which led to students gathering and marching towards the Secretariat demanding their release. Witnesses reported that the students chanted slogans against Ansar members, labeling them 'agents of autocracy', and the situation escalated to physical confrontations involving sticks and bricks. Police intervened by firing sound grenades to control the chaos, and by 10:00 PM, the situation was reportedly under control with army personnel's assistance. Injured students were transported to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for treatment, highlighting the severity of the clashes. The unrest follows ongoing protests by Ansar members against government assurances regarding changes in their operational policies.
