BCL unit president, secy top accused

The authorities of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU) has filed a complaint with Dinajpur Police Station, the day after BCL factional clash on the campus left two students dead and at least 10 others injured on Thursday night.

"I went to the police station on Friday night, but police sought time to register it as a case," said HSTU Proctor ATM Shafiqul Islam who accused 60 people including 36 identified ones in the complaint.

Ifekharul Islam Real, president of HSTU unit of BCL, and Arun Kanti Roy, its secretary, were in the top of the list of accused.

The HSTU authorities expelled Arun, a PhD student, and two other students belonging to BCL in November last year for their involvement with a digital forgery incident during an admission test of the university.

"On Thursday night, the accused people with sharp weapons, stones and wooden sticks entered the campus on three or four microbuses. Snapping the electric lines, they went on a rampage and started clashing with their opponents," goes the complaint.

"The incident left the university's BBA second year student Md Zakaria and master's final year student of agriculture department Mahmudul Hasan Milton dead on the spot," it says.

Later, police brought the situation under control.

ATM Khalequzzaman, officer in charge of Dinajpur Police Station, could not be contacted as his cell phone remained switched off since yesterday morning.

Dinajpur Superintendent of Police Md Rurul Amin confirmed that police received a complaint from the HSTU authorities regarding Thursday night's violence.

Meanwhile, many students, who had left their dormitories on Friday, returned to the campus yesterday.
