Academic activities at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (Sust) remained suspended for the second day yesterday while four of the university were injured and three university buses were vandalised in attacks allegedly by Islami Chhatra Shibir activists.
The injured are Badrul Alam, a Bangladesh Chhatra League activist and a student of economics department, Ahmed Zamil of business administration and Sust officials AKM Ferdous and Nazim Uddin.
Shibir enforced an indefinite strike on the campus from Sunday demanding withdrawal of cases filed against its activists and release of those arrested after BCL and Shibir clashed on January 11, leaving 20 injured.
Badrul, admitted to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, claimed that Shibir men attacked him in Tukubazar area of Sylhet city.
Meanwhile, witnesses said some Shibir activists arrived on motorcycles and began pelting stones at three Sust buses which were on their way from Alampur to the campus.
During the vandalism, shards of glass breaking off the windows left Ahmed, Ferdous and Nazim injured. The activists then snatched keys of two buses and fled before police arrived, they added.
Sust Officers Association yesterday met the vice chancellor and demanded security of the employees.
