A violent clash broke out between police and mobile phone traders in Dhaka’s Karwan Bazar area on Sunday afternoon, leaving four people injured. The confrontation began around 2:15 p.m. when police attempted to disperse demonstrators who had blocked the road. Witnesses said traders threw bricks at police, triggering panic in the area and forcing nearby shops to close while traffic came to a halt.
The traders were protesting the introduction of the National Equipment Identity Registrar (NEIR) system and demanding the release of detained colleagues. When police moved to clear the road, both sides engaged in chase and counter-chase. Police used batons, tear gas, water cannons, and sound grenades to disperse the crowd, while protesters continued throwing bricks in retaliation.
Authorities said efforts were underway to bring the situation under control. Members of the Rapid Action Battalion and the army were also deployed alongside police to maintain order in the area.
