Police lobbed teargas shells near Pilkhana, Science Laboratory and City College to disperse students.
On Sunday, these areas were rocked by students with safe road protest entering the 8th day.
During the skirmishes, at least four persons were injured. Students claim the attackers are Chhatra League and Jubo League activists. At this time, several journalists were also injured. General students had brought out a procession in the morning demanding safe roads and resignation of shipping minister.
Near Jigatola they were asked to turn back by the police stationed there but the agitating students refused and try to head towards AL party office on Dhanmondi 3.
At this moment, the police lobbed tear gas shells to disperse the rally.
Students allege that when police lobbed tear gas shells, the rally dispersed and this was taken up by rogue elements to attack them. They said many of the attackers were wearing helmets.
Three persons were injured and of them, one is a student of Economics at Dhaka University and the other is a female student.
After the general students left the area, Chhatra League activists were seen going around in motorcycle brigades.
Bangla Tribune photojournalist, present at the scene said: “the miscreants also attacked media personnel and, reporter of AP, A. H Ahad and other journalists were injured.”
According to last information, Science Laboratory is occupied by Chhatra League and police are behind the Star Kabab alley near Bata Signal.
Talking on the issue, DMP, Deputy Commissioner, Maruf Hossain Sardar, said: “we do not know who carried out the attack.”
We did not get any complaint, he added.
