Police in Rajshahi on Thursday prevented demonstrators from reaching the Indian Assistant High Commission during a planned march and siege organized by the group 'July 36 Mancha.' The procession was stopped about 100 meters from the commission’s office, where officers had set up barricades to block access. Protesters demanded permission to proceed, and after a 15-minute standoff, attempted to move forward, leading to brief pushing and shoving with police.
Authorities had tightened security in the Vodra area earlier in the day, deploying additional law enforcement personnel and closing nearby roads. The demonstrators then held a sit-in at the barricade for over an hour, chanting slogans but failing to advance further. Rajshahi Metropolitan Police Additional Commissioner Nasir Farhad stated that police acted to prevent any attempt to besiege the diplomatic mission.
The incident underscores ongoing tensions surrounding local activism and diplomatic sensitivities. No injuries or arrests were reported, and the situation remained under control by late afternoon.
