A clash broke out between students of Dhaka College and Ideal College on Tuesday afternoon following allegations of an assault on a Dhaka College student.
 
The incident occurred shortly after 1 pm, according to sources.
 
The tension escalated when a student named Pavel, from Dhaka College, was reportedly beaten by students of Ideal College. This triggered a strong reaction from Dhaka College students, who took to the streets armed with sticks, leading to a confrontation between the two groups, reports UNB.
 
Assistant Commissioner of Police (New Market Zone), Tariq Latif, confirmed the incident, saying, “Students of Ideal College allegedly assaulted Pavel. In retaliation, Dhaka College students came out with sticks and attacked them.”
 
Police and army personnel have been deployed to the area in an effort to restore calm and prevent further violence. Authorities are working to de-escalate the situation.
