Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists of Maulana Bhasani Hall of Jahangirnagar University beat a general student inside his dormitory room early Tuesday. Witnesses said the BCL activists, led by JU unit sub-secretary on mass education Didarul Islam entered the room of Rezaul Karim Barshan, a student of Computer Science and Engineering Department, and beat him with iron rods, pipes and other local weapons. The assaulters also took away Barshan’s laptop and mobile phone set, said the witnesses. Seriously wounded, Barshan was taken to the JU Medical Centre and then shifted to a private clinic in Savar. Talking to UNB, Barshan said he was asleep when about 10 BCL activists, led by Didar, attacked him in the early hours. He filed a complaint with the hall office and the Proctor’s office. Contacted, BCL leader Didar said they beat Barshan for his affiliation with Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal. He, however, denied the allegation of taking away Barshan’s laptop and mobile. – UNB
