SAU students go berserk
Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU) students vandalised around 30 vehicles and torched a human hauler around its campus in the capital after a fellow injured in a road accident died yesterday.
Several hundred students barricaded the roads around 8:30pm and then started the vandalism. Police blocked traffic in the area for the next two hours.
Rosna Afrose, 26, a PhD student, suffered an internal head injury after an unidentified vehicle rammed the rickshaw she was on near Bangabandhu International Conference Centre on Tuesday afternoon.
She was on life support at a Dhanmondi hospital at the time of her death. The body was taken to the campus for a namaj-e-janaza and then sent to her village home in Rangpur.
Meanwhile, some 20 shots were fired during a factional gunfight of Bangladesh Chhatra League's Dhaka College unit on the campus as a sequel to a conflict over a cricket match on Tuesday.
The groups, one of the North Hostel and another of the South Hostel, also chased each other, said witnesses. No causality was reported till filing of this report at 1:00am today.
