Daily Amar Desh’s Dhaka University correspondent was assaulted allegedly by activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on the campus on Saturday. Witnesses said Amar Desh correspondent Yamen Sazzad came under attack as he went to Fazlul Haque Hall following information that some BCL activists were pressing a group of actors for toll as they had been there for shooting. As Sazzad appeared at the spot to collect information, the BCL boys beat him up severely, leaving him injured. He was admitted to Dhaka University Medical College Hospital. The government recently suspended the publication of the vernacular daily, but its web version remains functional. – UNB
