The BNP leader reached home around 3:25pm, said sources close him.
Harun also said cases would be filed in connection with the clash and legal actions would be taken against those found involved.
“We had intelligence that they [BNP] could create such an unstable situation. Accordingly, we had deployed enough police personnel. It is very shameful that they attacked police in such a way,” he said.
Although BNP didn’t seek permission from DMP for sit-ins, Awami League applied for permission to hold “peace rallies”, said the DB official.
The DMP commissioner, however, denied both the parties permissions and imposed section 144 to ensure smooth movement of traffic, he added.
