Dhaka: A dispute over the Mirpur Thana Committee of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement led to a scuffle between two factions, leaving three students injured. The incident occurred at the organisation’s central office at Rupayan Tower in Banglamotor on Friday night around 10:30 p.m.

The injured students, identified as Nahiyan from Mirpur Manipur School and College, and Roni and Safran from Dhaka Polytechnic, received preliminary treatment at the emergency department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Medical University (BSMMU).

Witnesses said the conflict began after the announcement of the Mirpur Thana Committee. Those dissatisfied with the appointments had been expressing grievances for days. On Friday evening, individuals who did not secure desired positions reportedly arrived at the central office and started arguing with committee members. The argument escalated into a scuffle, resulting in injuries.

Jahid Ahsan, the organisation’s cell secretary for office affairs, downplayed the incident, stating, “Some individuals came expressing interest in joining the Mirpur Thana Committee. An argument ensued with the central leaders of the movement. It was a verbal altercation, not a serious attack.”

The injured students are currently recovering, while discussions about the internal disputes continue.
