Leaders and activists of the banned student organization, Chhatra League, staged a surprise protest rally in Manikganj early Wednesday morning.

The flash demonstration took place around 7:30 AM on the Dhaka-Aricha Highway. The rally was reportedly led by Rajidul Islam, General Secretary of the district unit and a suspect in multiple criminal cases. According to local reports, this marks the third such protest under Rajidul's leadership in recent months.

Ramzan Mahmud, Senior Joint Convener of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, condemned the event, calling it a "brazen act by a fascist political group." The Superintendent of Police confirmed that Rajidul is facing several charges and that efforts are ongoing to apprehend him. Authorities believe the rally moved toward the Barobaria area.
