Students from Dhaka College and Ideal College have clashed in Dhaka's Science Laboratory area. Traffic was brought to a halt from Science Laboratory to the Nilkhet intersection for nearly an hour and a half due to the violence on Tuesday afternoon, leading to heavy congestion.

"I heard there was some trouble between the first-year students and their seniors," said Mohammad Mohsin, chief of New Market Police Station. "This led to a clash between the two colleges."

"The situation is under control, but there tension remains," the OC said around 3:15pm. He said they are in contact with the students.

Witnesses say that the unrest started in front of Ideal College around noon. Some said that a Dhaka College student was beaten up as they were passing the area.

Ideal College students then marched out of the college around 2:00pm, while Dhaka College students passed Science Laboratory and came to the City College intersection. There, the clash started. Both sides threw brick chips at each other. Some of the boys were carrying sticks.

At one point, students from Dhaka College breached the police barrier, went to the Ideal College area and vandalised the college's signboards.

Witnesses said that several people were injured in the clash. It could not be confirmed which college the students belonged to.  Around 4:00pm, said, Tarek Latif, Assistant Commissioner of the New Market Zone "The situation is now calm. The army is now with us. We are working alongside them."

"Dhaka College students are claiming that some of their classmates are 'missing'. We are trying to contact those who are allegedly missing and their families by phone."
