At least two students were injured in a clash between two factions of the Chhatra Dal at the Mymensingh Medical College hostel in the city’s Baghmara area on Friday evening, April 16. Police arrested one student, identified as Nafiu Islam of the BDS-14 batch, in connection with the incident. The injured include Mir Hamidur, a supporter of the group led by senior joint convener Nure Jawad Rutap, who was later transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in critical condition, and Aman Ullah Muaj from the group of convener Tanvir Abdullah.

Witnesses said the altercation began over refueling a motorcycle and escalated into a physical fight. Hamidur was first attacked by Muaj with a steel pipe, leading to a chase and further clashes between the two groups. Several others were also injured during the confrontation. Police have deployed additional forces to maintain order.

College authorities and police confirmed that the situation is now under control, though the atmosphere at the hostel remains tense. Officials said the conflict may have stemmed from personal disputes among the student leaders.
