The injured leaders are Kutub, organising secretary of BCL RMC unit, and Kawsar Alam, member of the executive committee of the unit. They are undergoing treatment at Rangpur Medical College Hospital. Campus sources said some outsiders led by Ashraful Hoque Pullock, leader of the other faction, swooped on kutub and Kawser while they were returning to their hall from Rangpur town at around 9:00pm. Both belong to the faction led by BCL medical college unit President Tamim. Protesting the attack on Kutub and Kawser, Tamim faction staged a demonstration on the campus yesterday. They demanded cancellation of studentship of Pullock within the next 24 hours. Otherwise, the faction threatened to enforce an indefinite strike at the college from today. Officer-in-charge of Rangpur Sadar Police Station said a case was lodged against Pullock and 17 others in connection with Sunday night's attack on Kutub and Kawser. The two BCL factions clashed on the campus on the night of December 12, leaving 20 from both sides injured.
