At least 66 injured students were taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) after law enforcement personnel charged with batons and fired tear gas shells to disperse demonstrators in front of the main gate of the Secretariat on Tuesday afternoon.

In response to the vandalism, law enforcement personnel charged at the students.
Members of the police and army later forced the students out of the Secretariat.
