Shibir calls strike at RU Wednesday, Thursday
Pro-Jamaat-e-Islami student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir has called a two-day strike at Rajshahi University from tomorrow protesting death of its leader in a “shootout” with law enforcers.
The organisation announced the programmes this morning through a press release signed by Shibir RU unit president Ashraful Alam Emon.
The unit’s information and technology affairs secretary Sahabuddin Ripon was killed in an “encounter” with police on February 6.
Some 15 Shibir activists hurled several crude bombs at a police patrol team on Dhaka-Rajshahi highway around 1:00am forcing the police to retaliate, claimed AKM Nahidul Islam, a deputy commissioner of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police.
He said after the encounter policemen arrested three bullet-hit Shibir men and sent them to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital where Ripon, who received two bullet wounds in his thigh, was declared dead around 1:30am on the same day.
