At least 15 people including a police sub-inspector were injured in a clash between the All Party Student Unity (APSU) and Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS) at Kulaura Degree College yesterday.

The college authorities arranged a reception for first year students on the campus. A feud ensued between supporters of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and ICS when a student leader was addressing the function.

It turned into a clash between Shibur and all other student organisations as Chhatra League extended their support to JCD.

SI Abdul Latif and students S R Suhel, Kamal Husain, Fayzur Rahman, Abdul Aziz, Abdul Majid, Tanvir Hussain, Delwar Hussain, Rabiul Islam, Imrul Ahmed and Md Badshah were treated at Kulaura Hospital.

After the clash, APSU activists brought out a procession in Kulaura upazila town protesting Shibir attack on APSU activists.

Shibir activists also attacked the APSU procession, its activists alleged. They said glasses of doors and windows of local Islami Bank branch were damaged during attack.

Police did not arrest any one from the spot. Police have been deployed in Kulaura upazila town as tension mounted.
