Huge clashes in Khulna, policeman killed  

Huge clashes took place between quota protesters and policemen in Zero Point, Gallamari More and Khulna University areas. 

The clashes took place from Friday afternoon to evening in three phases.  A police constable, Md Sumon, was killed. About 20 to 25 policemen were injured in the clashes. 

Quota protesters set fire to a police van at that time.

The conflict began when police fired tear shells to disperse students protesting against killings during the recent quota reform movement. 

Earlier, the students brought out a procession from the New Market area of the city after Jumma prayers at around 2:00 PM.

When the students reached the Gallamari area, police fired tear gas at them.

In response, students threw brick chips, resulting in a chase and counter-chase.

However, clashes resumed about an hour later when police again tried to disperse the demonstrators.
