Unidentified individuals have set fire to an ambulance and a motorcycle in the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) premises.

With their one-point demand, protesters, mostly students and people from all walks of life, have taken over the Shahbagh intersection.

Earlier on the day, protesters started to gather in the capital's Dhaka University, Shahbagh, and Press Club areas on the first day of the non-cooperation movement announced by the Anti-discrimination Students Movement.

A clash breaks out between the protesters and Chhatra League men at the Shahbagh intersection.

As the protesters reach Shahbagh from Old Dhaka in a procession, AL and BCL activists were already chanting slogans in front of BSMMU.

The protesters chased them. During the clash, several vehicles parked in the hospital premises were vandalised.
