Two held in Faruk killing case

Police yesterday arrested two cadres of Islami Chhatra Shibir from the city's Laximpur area in connection with the February 9 murder of a Chhatra League (BCL) worker at Rajshahi University (RU).
Police identified them as Ali Reza Porag, a fourth year student of Pharmacy Department and FIR-named accused in the murder case and Anisur Rahman Sumon, also fourth year student of Islamic History and Culture Department.
"Porag and Sumon are armed cadres of Shibir and residents of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall. They were on the run after the murder", said Abul Khair, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Motihar Police Station.
Acting on a tip-off, Motihar police arrested them from the office of Shishu Kantha Sangsad, a children's organisation run by Jamaat and Shibir leaders near Jamuna Clinic in the area, said police.
The OC said that the arrestees told police that Shibir men often use the children's office for holding meetings and other activities.
"They (Shibir) were preparing for creating fresh anarchy on the campus," said the OC.
On February 9, Jamaat and Shibir men in a joint attack killed RU unit BCL worker Faruk Hossain and injured about 100 others.
At least 14 cases were filed in this regard against more than 200 people while police arrested a number of the accused in the last few weeks.
Meanwhile, one person was injured in a clash between the activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Islami Chhatra Shibir at Sunamganj Government College yesterday, reports UNB.
College sources said the clash erupted following an altercation between the supporters of two student bodies over the filing-in of admission forms.
Nabil 19, a BCL activist, was injured in the clash.
BCL cadres also ransacked a hosted of Shibir near the college, sources said.
