A violent clash erupted between students of Jessore University of Science and Technology (JUST) and local residents following allegations that a shopkeeper harassed and inappropriately touched a female student. The incident began on November 24 when the student visited a shop to buy electronic items and accused the shopkeeper, Monayem Hossain, of misconduct. After the complaint spread on campus, students confronted Monayem, leading to escalating tensions. Villagers later joined the confrontation, resulting in stone-throwing and injuries to around 25 students and two journalists. Police intervened to restore order, and Monayem was arrested under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act. The university vice-chancellor visited injured students and promised medical and psychological support. While the campus remains calm, authorities are working with local business leaders to prevent further unrest. Conflicting accounts from Monayem’s family claim the incident was a misunderstanding. An investigation is underway to determine the facts behind the clash.
