A police vehicle was vandalised and set on fire in Tungipara, Gopalganj, during a blockade called by the Chhatra League.
The Chhatra League began the programme on Tuesday (10 November) morning by burning tyres and blocking the road in the Patgati bus stand area.
According to local sources, Chhatra League leaders and activists began gathering in the Patgati bus stand area of Tungipara from Tuesday morning. They blocked the road by burning tyres and chanted slogans over loudspeakers.
A Chhatra League procession then went to the areas of Tungipara Government College, GT Government High School, GT Government Primary School and the Government Girls’ High School. The marchers are alleged to have gone into these institutions and stopped classes, disrupting their normal work.
Meanwhile, several police vehicles were seen positioned on the road at the corner of GT Government High School. Tension spread when the police vehicles were seen. At one point police fired tear gas to bring the situation under control, local sources said.
Angry Chhatra League leaders and activists are then alleged to have vandalised a police vehicle and set it on fire. Several banners and festoons were also torn down.
Confirming the incident, Ayub Ali, officer in charge (OC) of Tungipara Police Station, said: “Chhatra League protesters vandalised and set fire to a police vehicle.”
