Quota reform protesters clash with police at Dhaka University

Violent clashes erupted between police and quota reform protesters at Dhaka University. The conflict began when police dispersed a coffin procession near VC Chattar with tear gas and sound grenades. Protesters retaliated by throwing bricks from Masterda Surja Sen Hall. Police claim they acted with the VC’s permission, while protesters allege an attack on their peaceful demonstration. The university has been indefinitely closed, with students ordered to vacate halls by 6 PM. However, protesters have rejected this decision and refuse to leave, escalating tensions on campus.
