Bangladesh News: Just when life seemed to be returning to normal in Bangladesh, the fire of violence has flared up again. On Sunday night, there was a bloody clash between students and protesting paramilitary personnel in the capital Dhaka. According to the report of ‘The Daily Star’, at least 50 people have been injured.
The violent clashes started around 9.20 pm. A large number of students gathered near the Secretariat. They had received information that the Ansars (a paramilitary auxiliary force) had detained several students. The students allegedly tried to disperse the Ansars’ demonstration demanding permanent posts.

Both sides hurled bricks and stones and chased each other. Police and army personnel have been deployed to control the situation. Earlier, Ansar members had ended their protest after getting assurances from interim government’s Home Affairs Advisor Lieutenant General (Retired) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury.
