A student of Rangpur Carmichael College was beaten up and ousted from G L Hostel on Tuesday allegedly by Shibir leaders and activists for refusing to join their organisation. M A Rashid Shishir, a second year honours student of the college alleged that a number of Shibir activists led by the college unit president Monzurul Islam and secretary Al Ameen Hasan entered his room at about 2:30 am and asked him to leave the hostel. He said, “When I refused to do so, they beat me up. Later they forced me to write and sign on an application. After my signing on the paper, they told me that they will show the hostel authorities my application and tell them that I want to cancel the hostel seat willingly.” Shishir said he informed the matter to his friends at different messes who came and took him out of the campus at night. Yesterday Shishir lodged a general diary (GD) with Rangpur Kotwali police and submitted an application to the college principal for action against the Shibir leaders and activists. College Principal Abdul Wadud admitted getting the application and said he had already instructed hostel superintendent Mahbubar Rahman to investigate the matter. Contacted, the Shibir president, however, flatly denied beating up Shishir on Tuesday night.
