Following the clash at the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement central office situated at Banglamotor between two factions, the platform claimed their central executive member was attacked and another group claims that they were attacked for protesting against "extortion" in Jaatrabaari.
According to a press release published by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, they have said that a group of "misguided" people entered their central office, and at one point they closed the main gate.
Immediately, Rashidul Islam Rifat (Rifat Rashid), Asad Bin Rony, Naim Abedin, and Ahnaf Saeed Khan, members of the central executive committee went there to 'listen' to their demands, according to the press release.
But, instead of cooperating, they also attacked the executive members. At that time, Executive member Naim Abedin was injured.
Later, when other leaders and activists arrived at the central office, those who heated up the situation were forced to leave the office.
"While some participated in mass uprisings, none were associated with the anti-discrimination student movement on an organizational level," read the press release.
Another press conference was held at the DMC emergency ward by the other group involved in the clash, at 7pm on Tuesday.
Al Amin, a Tejgaon College student and one of those who were beaten on Tuesday, told the correspondent that a group of students were beaten on Monday for protesting against those who extorted in the name of coordinators, in the presence of coordinators.
According to him, central coordinator Rashidul Islam Rifat (Rifat Rashid), Asad Bin Rony, Naim Abedin, and Ahnaf Saeed Khan were present during the incident.
To settle that matter, they were asked to be present at the Central Office of Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, for the solution of yesterday's incident and because the coordinators were late they performed a sit-in protest.
To diffuse the protest, private university coordinator Naim Abedin was sent, according to Al Amin.
After the protestors refused to go, one of the female protestors Anta Mim was attacked, which made the incident volatile.
Later Rashidul Islam Rifat (Rifat Rashid), and Asad Bin Rony came to the scene and Naim Abedin was already present.
Al Amin said that the two groups of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, known for extorting in Jatrabari, beat them after dragging them inside a closed shutter when they protested.
Tanzid Mohammad Sohrab Reza, an IUBT student claimed that at one stage of the incident, Rifat Rashid, the central coordinator of the anti-discrimination student movement, who was present at Monday's attack, ordered the attack by seizing those who protested the extortion.
Seven people, including a female student, were injured in a fight between two groups at the central office of the anti-discrimination student movement at Banglamotor.
This incident occured on Tuesday around 4:30 pm.
Later, they were admitted to the emergency ward of Dhaka Medical College (DMC) Hospital.
The injured are East West University student Imran Sarkar, 21, Tejgaon College student Anta Mim, 22, Abrar, 22, Al Amin, 25, Afsar Uddin, 25, Jatiya Kabi Nazrul Islam College student Asif, 24, and Masood, 24, a madrasa student from Demra.
