On 16 January, protesting students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) engaged in a clash with the police at the campus.
At least 30 people including students, the university treasurer Anwarul Islam and Deputy Commissioner of Sylhet Metropolitan Police Ajbahar Ali Sheikh were injured in the clash.
The protesting SUST students confined Vice Chancellor Farid Uddin Ahmed over alleged misbehavior by Sirajunnesa Hall Provost Jafrin Ahmed.
