At least two students were injured as police charged batons on the activists of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) after the JCD men attacked a BCL procession on the Dhaka University campus yesterday morning.Witnesses said a group of JCD men led by Saiful Islam Firoz launched the attack on the BCL activists at Doyel Chattar beside Curzon Hall at around 9:30am when a BCL procession demanding CEC's removal reached there. BCL's DU unit President Sohel Rana Tipu and General Secretary Sazzad Saqib Badsha led the procession started from the Institute of Fine Arts. Later, the BCL activists reorganised themselves and launched a counter-chase against the JCD. Armed with bamboo sticks, activists of both the organisations then engaged in a skirmish and hurled brickbats to each other. Four cocktails went off during the clash, sources said. On receiving information, police rushed to the spot and charged batons on both the groups to disperse them leaving at least two injured from both sides. The incident marked the BCL's first organisational presence on the DU campus since the caretaker government took over last month.
