BM College office vanladised
Some unidentified miscreants yesterday vandalised the social welfare department of Barishal Government Brojomohun (BM) College and assaulted the office assistant of the department.
Wearing masks and wielding sharp weapons, they also vandalised the head of the department's office, said the principal and teachers of the college.
The incident took place around 1pm and the injured -- Mizanur Rahman Bachchu -- was taken to Barishal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital for treatment.
Prof Abdus Sabur, head of the department, said around 20 to 25 of miscreants entered the department carrying sharp weapons and rods.
"They started vandalising Bachchu's motorbike and then beat and stabbed him," he said. "Afterwards, they destroyed furniture and other items of the department's office and teacher's room on the second floor. They also vandalised my office," he added.
Prof Sabur said miscreants then took the CCTV records, machines and CPU of the department's main computer. "We don't know who were behind this vicious attack. Why would anyone do such thing?" he said.
Dr Golam Kibria, acting principal of the college, said they will file a case in this regard soon.
Asked, injured Bachchu said he too had no clue as to why anyone would vandalise the department let alone assault him.
Contacted, Nurul Islam, officer-in-charge of Barisal Kotwali Model Police Station, said they are investigating the incident, and no one was arrested yet. Police were on guard at different points of the college, he added.
The college's academic activities have been closed since March to control the spread of Covid-19. However, all the departments are open at present to take care of administrative and other related works.
