Protesters gathered in front of Bangabhaban on Tuesday afternoon demanding the resignation of President Mohammed Sahabuddin.
At around 8:20pm, a group of protesters attempted to break through the barricades to enter Bangabhaban.
The army tried to control the situation, and sound grenades were used to disperse the protesters, causing them to scatter.
