At least 12 activists of Bangladesh Chhatra Odhikar Parishad were injured in the sudden attack at the TSC area of Dhaka University campus. The injured protesters were rushed to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital where a fresh set of clashes broke out, leaving another three Chhatra Odhikar Parishad activists injured. The BCL men allegedly attacked them while they were talking to the journalists.
