BCL men beat up pharmacy owner
Two Bangladesh Chhatra League activists allegedly beat up a pharmacy owner near Dhaka Medical College Hospital last night, who happens to be an Awami League leader.
Amir Hamza, joint general secretary of DU's Shaheed Sergeant Zahurul Haque Hall, and Delowar Jahan Jhantu, school students' affairs secretary of Salimullah Muslim Hall, used iron pipes to hit shop owner Shahidul Rob Penu, an organising secretary of Sirjidikhan upazilla unit of AL, over buying of medicine, said witnesses. The AL leader was later admitted to DMCH and got eight stitches on his head.
Contacted, Amir said “Instead of giving me the medicine, he [owner] hurled abusive words at me, which prompted me to engage in a scuffle.”
DU BCL promptly wrote to its central unit, recommending expulsion of Amir and Jhantu.
