A Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activist was killed in an attack by miscreants in Rajshahi city Sunday afternoon.

The deceased, Rabiul Islam, was an activist of BCL city unit, reports our Rajshahi correspondent.

Asaduzzaman, general secretary of Awami League Rajshahi district unit, claimed that activists of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal and Islami Chhatra Shibir killed Rabiul, which was denied by local JCD leaders.
