On Sunday, two clashes reportedly took place at Eden College that injured at least 12 people.
The clashes broke out between followers of the college's Chhatra League committee president Tamanna Jasmine Riva and a group of rival BCL leaders.
The two groups locked into clashes at the college when the Chhatra League president and general secretary organized a press conference regarding allegations that their rival group aired earlier in the day.
Riva and Razia Sultana, the president and general secretary, have been allegedly involved in some illegal activities including seat trading, extortion, student torture and taking control of hostels and the canteen. They even started extortion from foot-way shops.
Despite many allegations against Riva and Razia that arose since they were declared president and general secretary, the college administration and Bangladesh Chhatra League did not take any action against them yet.
