BCL Sylhet dist unit dissolved

In the wake of murder of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activist Omar Ali Miyad, the organisation's central body dissolved its Sylhet district unit on Wednesday.

The decision was taken after a murder case was filed against the district unit general secretary in the evening.

In this regard, a notice, signed by BCL central President Saifur Rahman Sohag and General Secretary SM Jakir Hossain, was published on the organisation's official website.

For forming a new committee of the unit, the central committee in the notice also asked prospective candidates to submit their curriculum vitae within October 25.

Omar Ali Miyad, a law student of Leading University in Sylhet, was stabbed to death allegedly by his rivals over previous enmity at Tilagarh on Monday.

Omar was an activist of a faction of BCL Sylhet district unit led by Hiron Mahmud Nipu. On Wednesday, Omar's father Akul Miah filed a murder case against 10 people, including Rayhan Chowdhury, general secretary of BCL Sylhet unit, and other BCL unit leaders and activists.
