14 BCL men sued for assault on college principal
Fourteen BCL men have been sued for assaulting the principal and three other teachers of Mirjaganj Degree College under Patuakhali district on Saturday.
Principal Krishnapada Mondol filed the case with Mirjaganj Police Station on Saturday night.
The accused in the case are Polash Poddar, vice-president of BCL Mirjaganj upazila unit, its secretary Samsul Alam Mridha, joint secretary Milon Jamadar, publication secretary Golam Sarwar, and members Sarwar Mridha, Jasim Uddin Sabuj, Jalal Ahmed, Noman, Sohag, Ibrahim, Arif Hossain Sumon, Sabuj Sikder, Masud, Hasan and Sumon Mollick. Of them, Sarwar Mridha was arrested just after the incident at around 3:00pm on Saturday.
A group of BCL men started levelling the playground of the college with sand without any permission of the college authorities at around 11:00am on Saturday. At this, Principal Krishnapada Mondol asked them to stop the work. But the BCL men continued the work ignoring the principal's order.
When the principal rebuked them, they physically assaulted him and damaged doors, windows and other furniture of the college.
The BCL men also assaulted three other teachers--Moshiul Ajmal, Golam Kibria and Rashik Lal Das--as they tried to resist the cadres.
Finding no alternative, the college authorities informed the police who rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control.
Abu Bakkar, president of BCL Mirjaganj upazila unit, told this correspondent that some outsiders, not BCL men, were involved in the incident. "If involvement of any BCL activist is found in our investigation, he will be punished," the BCL leader said.
Contacted, Mirjaganj police said they are looking for the 13 other accused in the case.
