Earlier, around 200 staffers of Titas demonstrated and vandalised Petrobangla headquarters in Dhaka's Karwan Bazar on Tuesday, protesting appointment of its new managing director.
They smashed the glass entrance of Petrobangla building around 10:20am and demonstrated for around 20 minutes.
Some of them also went up to the fourth floor and reportedly threatened Petrobangla staffers, said a staff member.
Later, Petrobangla employees gathered in large numbers and forced the agitating Titas staffers to leave the premises, said Tariqul Islam Khan, deputy general manager (public relations) of Petrobangla.
