Police sue 60 BCL activists

Police yesterday filed a case against 60 BCL activists who were detained at Shahjalal and Shah Amanat halls of Chittagong University on Sunday following numerous chases and counter chases between two factions of the dissolved committee of Bangladesh Chhatra League's CU unit.

Hathazari police filed the case against 48 members of Varsity Xpress (VX) and 12 of Choose Friends with Care (CFC) under section 151 of penal code and they were sent to jail after being produced before a court.

On Sunday, the whole incident started as VX members went to Shahjalal Hall to establish supremacy following which CFC members hacked two VX activists and also assaulted a teacher while verbally assaulting the assistant proctor's family at his house, claiming that they were patronising VX members, said witnesses.

The university authorities formed a four-member committee to investigate the assaults and hacking, said CU Proctor Siraj-ud-Dollah.
