A three-way clash at Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET) in Gazipur left ten people injured, including five police officers, on Sunday. The violence erupted at the university’s Shaheed Minar area during a confrontation among students supporting the newly appointed vice-chancellor, protesting students, and police. The government recently appointed Professor Dr. Mohammad Iqbal from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology as DUET’s new vice-chancellor, which triggered protests from a section of students.
According to the report, the protesting students rejected the appointment immediately after the government’s announcement and began demonstrations on Thursday night. On Sunday morning, they called for a “red card” protest against the new vice-chancellor, leading to the clash. The protesters argued that the vice-chancellor should be selected from DUET’s own faculty, citing their deeper understanding of the institution’s academic and administrative challenges.
Police confirmed that five officers, including the local station’s officer-in-charge, were among the injured and said efforts were underway to restore order on campus.
