BCL hands RU entry seeker over to cops

Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) men of Rajshahi University yesterday held an admission seeker suspecting him to be an Islami Chhatra Shibir activist when he came to the campus for a viva voce.

They handed Abdul Kader, from Khulna, over to police. Witnesses said nine to ten BCL men caught Kader while he was sitting in front of a tea stall after the exam. They asked him why he had a beard and wore pants above the ankle, then they claimed to have found "proof" of his involvement in Shibir by going through his mobile phone. However, Humayun Kabir, officer-in-charge of Motihar Police Station, said they did not find any such proof . The phone of RU BCL Vice-President Mehedi Hasan was switched off. Meanwhile, BCL dissolved its Eden Women's College unit of the capital as its activities had remained halted for around two years, said a BCL press release yesterday.
