The incident took place on Sunday night at Nazrul Square within the DC Hill premises, reported UNB.

Mohammad Ali Titu, member secretary of the Sammilito Pahela Baishakh Udjapon Parishad, said a group of youths stormed the venue around 7:45 pm, chanting slogans such as “Be cautious against the allies of autocracy.”
