Demonstrators stopped Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed's car for driving on the wrong side of a road near Bangla Motor around 1:45pm.

The protesters chanted slogans while surrounding the minister as he tried to talk to them, a witness said.

Caught in the act, the minister claimed that he came to talk to them.

His vehicle was later turned around at the students' request.
