The Shibir is the student affiliate of the Jamaat-e-Islami.
Motihar police station OC SM Abdus Sobhan told bdnews24.com the Shibir activists brought out a procession around 10am on Monday demanding release of Jamaat-e-Islami stalwarts standing trial at the two international crimes tribunals .
Traffic on the busy Dhaka-Rajshahi Highway was disrupted for nearly 30 minutes when the agitators set up road blocks in the Binodpur area and hurled brickbats at the police when they tried to take control, Sobhan said.
The Shibir activists also exploded at least five handmade bombs, he said. Police fired rubber bullets and lobbed teargas shells to bring the situation under control.
The SI said two policemen were critically injured in the clashes. They have been hospitalised.
bdnews24.com tried to contact Shibir’s Rajshahi University chief Ashraful Alam but he did not respond.
