Members of the banned Chhatra League held a sudden rally at Dhaka University’s TSC area near the Raju Memorial Sculpture, prompting police action in which two individuals along with a microbus were detained.
The incident occurred around 6:00 am on Saturday, according to police and eyewitness accounts.
The detained individuals are identified as Farhan Tanvir Nasif (2020–21 session, AF Rahman Hall) and Rubel, the driver of the microbus.

Another HiAce vehicle and a Dhaka University student present at the spot were also detained by police.
