At least 10 people were injured as two rival groups of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) clashed on the Bangladesh Agriculture University campus in Mymensingh on Friday.
Golam Sarwar, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station, said an altercation over “a trifling matter” occurred between loyalists of MA Salam Russel and Shohrab Hossain Sujon, respectively joint secretary and organising secretary of the university unit of JCD, around 7pm.
At one stage, both groups attacked each other leaving 10 from both sides injured. Of them, three were said to be in a critical condition and were taken to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital.
However, both parties denied culpability for initiating the fight and blamed each other. Additional police were deployed on the campus following the violence.
