Following violent clashes between student protesters and Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists at different public universities around the country, celebrities have voiced their support for the quota reform movement. The July 15 incident left approximately 300 people injured, including female students and BCL members. As of July 17 (3:00pm), six fatalities have been reported due to the ongoing unrest.
An activist of the Dhaka University Bangladesh Chhatra League unit has been accused of eve-teasing and slapping a female student of a private university at TSC. Besides, a shop employee of Hakim Chattar has also accused the same BCL activist of snatching his money and phone.

Moharram Ali, additional superintendent (crime) of Barguna police, was yesterday withdrawn hours after the home minister commented on police charging batons on BCL activists in the district on Monday.
Chhatra League is working to ensure atmosphere conducive to education at the colleges and universities across the country, wrote its General Secretary SM Jakir Hossain in a newspaper article published on January 4, marking the student body's 70th founding anniversary.
