CU BCL men beat up student
Activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) unit of Chittagong University allegedly beat up a student on the campus yesterday, suspecting him to be a Chhatra Shibir activist.
The injured student is Nurul Islam, a fourth-year student of Islamic Studies department, said police.
Witnesses said a group of 10 to 12 BCL activists launched the attack on Nurul while he went to a photocopy shop in front of Shahjalal Hall around 2:30pm.
“Branding me as a Shibir activist, they started hitting me with rods,” said Nurul, adding that the beating continued until police rushed to the spot. He added that he was never involved with politics.
Police sent Nurul to CU Medical Centre. He was later referred to Chittagong Medical College Hospital for better treatment.
CU BCL general secretary Iqbal Tipu said Nurul was involved in shibir politics. “Those who beat him up have evidence against him,” he said, adding that they were trying to settle the matter.
CU acting proctor Pranab Mitra Chowdhury said action will be taken against those who carried out the attack after investigation.
