The clash began around 12 pm near Molla College after students from Shaheed Suhrawardy College and Kabi Nazrul Government College marched toward the institution. 

Earlier in the morning, around 10 am, students from different disciplines of Shaheed Suhrawardy College began gathering on the college premises. From there, they marched towards Kabi Nazrul College, chanting slogans. When the Principal of Kabi Nazrul College requested the agitated students to calm down, they refused and continued chanting "Bhua Bhua" slogans.

Later, the agitated students of Shaheed Suhrawardy College and Kabi Nazrul Government College marched towards Mahabubur Rahman Molla College, leading to a clash between students of the three institutions.

On Sunday, students of Mahabubur Rahman Molla College in Purana Dhaka’s National Medical area staged a siege program in protest of the death of Abhijit, a student of the same college.
