4 held over attack on 2 BU students
Four people were arrested yesterday for attacking two students of Barishal University on Tuesday morning.
Three of the arrestees -- Alim Salehi, Reaz Mollah and Sheikh Refat Mahmud -- are current students of the university while the other, Shamim Shikdar, is a former student, said Md Asaduzzaman, officer-in-charge of Bandar Police Station.
Mohiuddin Ahmed Sifat, one of the injured students, filed a case against seven current and former students of the university on Tuesday night.
The trio were arrested during drives in Banglabazar and Nabagram areas of the city after the case was filed, the OC added.
The complainant and arrestees are associated with rival BCL factions, campus sources said.
A group of 10-15 people entered Sher-e-Bangla Hall of the university wearing helmets around
5:30am on Tuesday. They dragged Mohiuddin Ahmed Sifat and GM Fahad out of their rooms and attacked them with hammers and sharp weapons, according to an eyewitness.
The injured were being treated at a Barishal hospital.
At present, there is no committee of Bangladesh Chhatra League at Barishal University, Mainul Islam, joint convener of Barishal BCL said earlier.
