A leader of Islami Chhatra Shibir, identified as Ashraful Islam, lost his ankle during a violent clash with Chhatra Dal at Chittagong Government City College on Tuesday afternoon. The incident followed escalating tension between the two student groups over graffiti related to the 'July Movement'. The injured student, who is the president of Shibir’s Agrabad Saraipara ward unit, underwent surgery at a private hospital.

According to local sources and college authorities, the conflict began when members of Chhatra Dal allegedly altered a wall graffiti that read “student politics and Chhatra League-free campus” by replacing the word “student” with “Gupta.” The situation turned violent around noon, leading to an hour-long chase and counter-chase before police and college officials intervened. However, further clashes erupted later during a Shibir protest.

Police said both groups were students, so they avoided taking a hardline approach but would act upon formal complaints. College authorities confirmed that the situation was under control, though several people from both sides were injured.
