The incident occurred around 11:45am on Monday in the Mohakhali Rail Crossing area, according to Sardar Shahadat Ali, director general of the Bangladesh Railway. The Upakul Express from Noakhali was crossing the area around the time when protesters began throwing stones at the train, injuring some passengers. A group of students blocked the rail crossing in the afternoon. The Upakul Express’s loco master hit the brakes when they observed the protesters, but the train stopped once it had passed the scene of the blockade. “Titumir College students have blocked the road to demand a university,” he said.
