At least 12 students were injured in a clash between two factions of Bangladesh Chhatra League's (BCL) Chittagong University (CU) unit on Wednesday.
All the injured received primary treatment at the university medical centre.
Of them, three critically injured were subsequently sent to Chittagong Medical College Hospital.
Witnesses told UNB that supporters of the two groups -- “Bijoy” and “CFC” -- fought for an hour, over establishing dominance at CU.
Activists of the Bijoy group gathered in front of Suhrawardy Hall, while CFC group supporters were waiting at Shah Amanat Hall.
Members of both groups were armed with sharp weapons and eventually attacked each other, resulting in a clash that left 12 injured.
Police and the CU proctorial body rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control around 1am, sources said.
"The situation is now under control," said Shahidul Islam, acting proctor of the university.
On January 13, Sheikh Nazmul Islam, deputy cultural affairs secretary of the Central Student League, and Haider Mohammad, training secretary, went to the campus but the activists refused to allow them to enter.
