Eyewitnesses said the clash started in front of Khulna University (KU) at around 3:00 PM when police tried to disperse protesters with tear gas as they took the streets as part of the nationwide protest programme announced by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.

Around 5:30pm, police started firing tear gas shells at the Gollamari intersection of the city. Also, there have been reports of chases and counter-chases between protesters and police.
