Police on Wednesday night arrested four activists of Bangladesh Chharta League (BCL) Rajshahi University (RU) unit after Ashis, a supporter of a faction, filed a case for stabbing him during BCL factional clash earlier that day. The arrestees -- Sharif, a Master's student of political science department, Rokey, a third-year student of geography department, Nahid and Shaheen, social work department -- were produced before the Rajshahi Metropolitan Magistrate's Court yesterday, police said. In the case filed with Motiher Police Station against 10 activists of their rival faction on Wednesday night, Ashis, a supporter of Mithu-led BCL faction, stated that a few cadres lead by Arif and Polash severely stabbed him following direction of Sharif as he refused to give Tk 20 thousand as illegal toll. Earlier on Wednesday, clash between two factions of RU unit BCL, one led by Arif and Rokey and another led by Mithu, left five activists of the two groups injured.
