4 injured in BCL factional clash at Titumir College
At least four students were injured when two groups of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) clashed at Government Titumir College in the city early hours yesterday.
The injured are Shamim Ahmed, 22, Ariful Islam, 21, Abu Sayeed, 22, and Mohammad Ibrahim, 22. All of them were admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital with stab injuries.
Shamim said the injured were BCL activists who were expected to be included in the organisation's college unit committee to be formed soon. The attackers and the injured are residential students of Shahid Ankhi Hall.
Shamim said Biplob and his men of the college BCL unit called the victims out over cell phone at around 12:30pm. About 10 to 12 activists of Biplob's group attacked them with sharp weapons and left them seriously injured.
He alleged that Biplob and his men were peddling drugs such as phensidyl, yaba and cannabis in the campus using BCL's name. They had taken a strong stand against such activities.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Gulshan Police Station Kamal Hossain said two groups of students clashed over establishing supremacy on the campus. None filed any complaint with police yet. Police has been trying to arrest the accused students.
