A section of Dhaka City College students yesterday took to the streets, vandalising around 10 vehicles and halting traffic on Mirpur road in the capital for more than an hour.
They were protesting an attack on their college by a section of Dhaka College students earlier in the morning.
Several hundred students of Dhaka City College came down on the road and vandalised vehicles in front of their college and Science Lab intersection around 12:30pm, witnesses said.
Commuters suffered as vehicular movement on Mirpur road and its adjacent areas was halted during the agitation, they added.
Incidents of chase and counter-chase also took place between law enforcers and the students when police tried to disperse them from the road, said police and witnesses.
Around 10 pedestrians suffered injuries as the students pelted brickbats at the law enforcers, they said.
Earlier at 11:30am, some 35 students of Dhaka College attacked Dhaka City College, pelting brickbats at the college building and ransacking its furniture and windowpanes, said witnesses.
The Dhaka College students went berserk hearing a rumour that one of the two fellow students, who were stabbed on Saturday by a group of Dhaka City College students, succumbed to his injuries yesterday, said police.
When police confirmed them that the rumour was false, the agitating students returned back to their college.
Dhaka College students Redwan Islam Hridoy and Sakib Al Mahatir were stabbed allegedly by some Dhaka City College students over a previous enmity on Saturday.
