Chittagong University professor Kushal Baran was also attacked during a meeting in Shahbagh. Many injured protesters have been admitted to the hospital. Surprisingly, the administration and police did not take any action during these violent incidents. The police and administration remained silent spectators during the Shahbagh attack. The pictures that surfaced on social media highlight the seriousness of these attacks.

He appealed to Indian Foreign Minister Dr. S Jaishankar to take this issue seriously and take immediate action.
