At one point, agitated workers vandalised at least 5 vehicles of the joint forces forcing the law enforcers to charge batons at them. According to workers, law enforcers also opened fire on protesting workers injuring at least 30 workers.

Suman, a worker of Natural Denims, said, "Everyone was working in our factory in the morning. There was no movement in our factory. However, when the workers of Mondol Group started protesting in front of their factory, our workers went there to show solidarity. A few other factory workers also joined there. At that time, the members of the joint forces started charging batons and firing at the workers."

Nazim Uddin, manager (admin) of PMK Hospital in Ashulia, told The Daily Star, "Two workers named Nazmul and Habib were brought to our hospital with bullet wounds. They were shifted elsewhere as their condition was critical. Besides, two more injured workers are being treated at our hospital."
