Leaders of the central and DU units of the Bangladesh Chhatra League have been made defendants.
Earlier this month, Dhaka University formed a probe committee to investigate incidents of violence in campus from 15 July to 5 August during the quota reform movement and the mass student uprising.
Members of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) allegedly attacked students at midnight, leaving many injured.
BCL leaders then accused quota protesters of attacking students who refused to join their rallies at Dhaka University's Bijoy Ekattor Hall.
