Bangladesh Chhatra League leaders and activists of Solimullah Muslim Hall unit of Dhaka University yesterday beat four students of the same hall, suspecting them as Shibir activists.
General students of the hall said Chhatra League General Secretary of the hall Didarul Islam along with his fellows beat the four students mercilessly at the hall garden.
The four students are Mehedi of Finance Department, Razu of Banking Department, Arif of Social Welfare Department and Ismail of Law Department. All these students are fourth year students and were rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital after the incident.
One of the students of the hall, seeking anonymity, told the Dhaka Tribune: “The Chhatra League leaders beat the students without any issues. They tortured them at least one hour. They also kept the four tied up at the general secretary’s room, where Chhatra League leaders and activists beat them with rods and sticks.”
Hearing the screams of the four, a house tutor went to the spot and rescued them, he added.
When asked, General Secretary Didarul claimed: “The students are involved with Islami Chhatra Shibir and we have proofs.”
For this the general students beat them up, he added.
DU Proctor Amzad Ali said he had heard about the incident, adding that actions would be taken following an investigation.
