Supporters of Bangladesh Chhatra League of two halls at Rajhshahi University started a violent clash at Sunday midnight.
Students at the university said activists of Madar Bakhsh Hall and Suhrawardi Hall, activists of the ruling Awami League's student wing, fired gunshots at around midnight. Several hand-bombs were also exploded.
Motihar Police Station Officer-in-Charge Anisur Rahman told reporters the police had brought the the situation under control. Additional police had been deployed in front of every dorm.
Some students who were injured in the clash have been sent to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. Students said one of them, Sohel Rana, had been shot.
Tension had been building among rival groups on the campus since the university unit of Chhatra League announced its new committee.
Sohel Rana, student of third-year Social Work, was shot in the left eye and has been sent to Dhaka in critical condition.
Clashes broke out after an argument between BCL Vice-President Akheruzzaman Takim and Organising Secretary Touhid Al Tuhin, eye-witnesses said. They said at least 15-20 shots had been fired and hand-bombs exploded.
BCL General Secretary Abu Hossain Bipu said the incident was regrettable but declined to make further comments.
No cases had been filed in the incident, OC Anisur Rahman told
