BNP leaders and activists have been gathering in front of their party office in Nayapaltan since Wednesday.
The clashes ensued as the police tried to disperse the BNP men for entering the area defying the barricades.
Law enforcers in armoured vehicles were deployed in the areas surrounding Nayapaltan, while no vehicles were seen in front of the party office on Thursday morning.
No one is being allowed to enter the area without an ID as police set up barricades at the Nightingale intersection in Bijoynagar and Fakirapool crossings.
Earlier today, the law enforcers stopped BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir from entering the political party's central office.
