Students beat up an alleged stalker on Government Ananda Mohan College campus yesterday morning and later handed him over to police.
The stalker was identified as Mithun Saha of Boro Bazar area in the district town.
Police and college sources said Mithun collected cellphone number of Ishrat Jahan, a female student of the college, from her classmate Imran when he went to the customer care service of Warid here a few days ago.
Mithun started teasing Ishrat through his cellphone frequently with love proposals. As Ishrat refused his proposal, he threatened her and demanded Tk 2,000 from her, police quoting Ishrat said.

On information, police and Rab personnel rushed to the spot. Mithun was later handed over to police.
