Helal Uddin Naeem (26), a student leader known for his anti-discrimination activism, was violently attacked by members of the BNP-affiliated Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) at Titumir College. He is currently receiving treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement accused the college administration of deliberately using JCD members to suppress ongoing student protests demanding the reopening of dormitories. During a sit-in against this political interference, JCD activists launched a surprise attack. The group called for immediate arrest of those responsible.
