DHAKA, Aug 21 (Reuters) Classes and exams were postponed in Bangladesh's biggest university Tuesday after about 100 students were injured overnight in a campus battle with security forces, officials and witnesses said. The violence erupted Monday evening after the students protested against the presence of army troops at a stadium at Dhaka University during a football match, they said. The troops assaulted some protesters, fuelling the unrest that soon spread across the 40,000-student campus. Hundreds of police rushed in, fired teargas and rubber bullets, the witnesses said. The students hit back with sticks and stones. The students have called for an indefinite strike at the university.
