Three police officers sustained injuries after their vehicle was attacked during a prohibited march organised by banned student wings in Gopalganj on Tuesday, law enforcement officials confirmed. The violence erupted as officers attempted to control the unauthorised demonstration by members of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Jubo League, which operate in contravention of existing restrictions. The assailants targeted the police vehicle with projectiles and other objects during the confrontation, prompting officers to respond. The injured officers were transported to a local medical facility for treatment of their injuries. The exact nature and severity of their wounds were not immediately disclosed. Authorities launched an investigation into the incident, with police seeking to identify those responsible for the attack on law enforcement personnel. The march was part of broader student political activities that have periodically tested security operations across the country. Officials reiterated their commitment to preventing unauthorised political demonstrations while investigating the assault on police personnel.
