An eyewitness said around 20 to 25 people gathered at the MM Ali Road intersection before marching with a banner that read "Sheikh Hasina will return, victory will come," carrying the names of Awami League, Jubo League and Chhatra League on it.
As the march crossed the CMP commissioner's office and approached the Dampara bus stand, the group dispersed upon spotting a police vehicle.
Videos circulating on Facebook show the participants chanting slogans while carrying the banner.
Confirming the matter, Additional Deputy Commissioner (PR and Media) of CPM Srima Chakma told The Business Standard that the procession took place in front of Yunusco City Center under Kulshi Police Station in the morning.
