Chittagong University’s Vice-Provost, Professor Dr. Kamal Uddin, reported on Sunday afternoon that senior cadres of the student wing of the ruling party attacked students and faculty members while wearing helmets. “They have beaten our teachers and students. We are unable to accommodate all the injured in our medical facilities,” he said.

The university has sent 4–5 vehicles to Chittagong Medical College, where over 500 students are reported injured. “What kind of world are we living in, where senior student cadres enter campuses wearing helmets and assault students? The police have not intervened,” he added.

The unrest reportedly began Saturday night after a female student was assaulted by a gatekeeper at a residence, sparking tensions among students and local residents. At least 150 students, along with the Vice-Provost, the Proctor, and several teachers, sustained injuries. Witnesses report that domestic weapons were used to target students across the campus.
