General Secretary Mahmud Naser Jony and Organising Secretary Khan Mohammad Iqbal were also assaulted near university gate at around 1:30pm in presence of proctor, BCL activists complained.

The injured were rushed to university medical centre while Sohel was admitted to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital.

"The JCD men beat me up in front of the proctor and the assistant proctor," said Jony.

Foysal, a student of 32nd batch of Mathematics department, was beaten up in another JCD attack in the morning near arts faculty.

"Immediate action will be taken against the identified JCD activists who were involved in the attack," said Proctor Sayed Kamrul Ahsan, admitting his presence during one of the incidents.

Academic activities at the university came to a near halt yesterday, as most of the classes were not held due to the strike.
