Authorities in Chattogram have identified two individuals seen wielding weapons during violent clashes between Chhatra Dal and Islami Chhatra Shibir at Government City College on Tuesday. Despite the identification, police have yet to make any arrests but said operations are ongoing to detain all involved. The clashes erupted over disputes surrounding graffiti related to the July Movement, escalating into multiple rounds of violence that spread from the campus to nearby areas.

Witnesses reported that several participants carried sharp weapons, including machetes, while others wore helmets. Identified individuals include City College student Noor Nabi Rishad and MES College Chhatra Dal member-secretary Mirza Faruk. Following the incident, both groups held rival demonstrations across Chattogram on Wednesday, joined by central leaders. The college suspended classes and exams, and additional police were deployed as tension gripped the campus.

Chattogram Metropolitan Police Commissioner Hasan Mohammad Shawkat Ali confirmed that CCTV footage is under review and assured that no armed participant will be spared. The city remains tense as both organizations continue to exchange accusations and stage counter-protests.
