BCL factions clash over capturing college hostel
Two factions of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) clashed on Jessore Government City College campus over capture of the lone dormitory of the college yesterday.
The groups--one led by Maruf Hossain Iqbal, president of the college unit of BCL, and the other by Mohiuddin Rimon, general secretary of the unit--locked in a clash around 1:00pm, over capturing Muktijoddha Ziaur Rahman Hall of the institution.
Quoting general students, Shikdar Akkas Ali, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station, said both sides exploded several crude bombs and traded 4/5 gunshots during the clash.
Contacted, Maruf Hossain said a group, loyal to Ariful Islam Riyad, president of the district unit of BCL, opened gunshots and hurled bombs targeting the general students who went to the hostel to free it from their clutches.
Refuting the allegation, Mohiuddin Rimon said the incident occurred when the general students resisted a group loyal to Anwar Hossain Bipul, BCL general secretary of the district unit, when the group went to the campus in a bid to occupy the dormitory.
