Other policemen arrived from the Intercontinental side and fired sound grenades and tear gas. At that time the protesters also threw bricks and stones at the police. At one stage, they dispersed and took up positions on the roads leading from Shahbag towards Dhaka University, Matsya Bhawan and Katabon.
After this, intermittent clashes continued. At around 8:45 pm, when the police left Shahbag, the leaders and workers of Inquilab Moncho again took up position there.
