According to general students, the clash erupted for the second time between the supporters of the college unit president and general secretary around 11am on Monday following a previous scuffle that took place on Saturday night.
During the clash, the activists of two groups clashed each other with iron and wooden sticks, leaving seven students including the college unit General Secretary Israt Jahan Orchi.
The other injured are Taslima, Beuty, Bristy, Shurma, Eity and Armi.

While contacted, Eden College principle professor Hosne-Ara told the Dhaka Tribune that it was a trivial matter.
