2 injured in JnU BCL infighting

At least two people were injured as two rival groups of Bangladesh Chhatra League Jagannath University unit locked horns on the campus on Thursday.

Eyewitnesses said JnU BCL unit Srabon group activists Tanvir, Rasel, and Himu along with 10 of their fellows beat up the unit's Santo group activists Sony and Monayem at about 1:00pm in front of the independence war sculpture on the campus as a sequel to previous enmity.

Sony and Monayem were admitted to JnU Medical Centre for treatment of their injuries.

After that incident, both the groups took position with a range of arms to engage in a fight but JnU acting proctor Asoke Kumar Saha rushed to the spot with a large contingent of the Kotowali police. The police brought the situation under control by arresting Mehedi Hasan, a second-year student of mathematics of the university, on the spot.

Asoke Kumar Saha told New Age, 'We are investigating into the incidents and those who will be found guilty will get punished.'
