BCL men charged with extortion

A Jagannath University student filed a complained with the university proctor on Tuesday against JnU Bangladesh Chhatra League leader Kazi Rakibul Islam and his associates.

In the complaint, JnU economics 4th semester student Masud Kabir said that Chhatra League activists Rakibul of history 7th semester, Tanvir Ahmed of management 3rd batch and Tarikul Islam of physics 2nd batch tried to extort Tk 1 lakh from him on June 2, 2011.

When he refused to give that money, Rakibul snatched his laptop, two mobiles, a gold ring, a pen-drive, a watch, a modem and Tk 5,000.

As he tried to resist them, they beat him up, he said.

Masud Kabir said after the incident, he did not file any complaint as the Chhatra League activists threatened him with sharp weapons and, now, he showed the courage to complain as Rakibul and his associates were recently arrested by the police on robbery charges.

JnU acting proctor Asoke Kumar Saha admitted the filing of the complaint.
