IUBAT university students clash with cops, vandalise 15 vehicles
Students of a private university clashed with police and vandalised over 15 vehicles in the city's Uttara last night, following a row at a CNG filling station in Abdullahpur.
Students also halted transport movement on Abdullahpur-Kamarpara road for over two hours.
Sources said some five students of International University of Business Agriculture and Technology at Ranabhola of Turag locked into a quarrel with a police van driver as he tried to break the queue to get gas.
When a scuffle began, some policemen rushed to the spot and took the students to nearby Abdullapur police outpost.
Hearing the news, over one hundred students of the university thronged the outpost, swooped on the law enforcers and began vandalising the vehicles.
Officer-in-Charge Khandker Rezaul Hasan of Uttara Police Station said the detained students were freed after some of the university's teachers gave an undertaking.
