"A procession led by a BCL leader named Antar was brought out around 12:30am. There were 10-12 BCL men on three to four motorbikes. They fled within five minutes of reaching Jamal Khan," said Fazlul Kader, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station.
"Police launched a drive to apprehend the BCL men upon receiving information. The BCL men taking part in the procession have been identified," the OC added.
No activity of the Chhatra League was seen since the fall of the Awami League government on 5 August. The procession has garnered widespread criticism on social media, primarily due to its timing, which was past midnight.
