Teachers of New Government Degree College in the city yesterday demanded punishment to Chhatra Moitree activists responsible for assault on one of their colleagues on Thursday. They placed the demand in a human chain at Shaheb Bazar Zero Point intersection. Demanding trial of the attackers, the teachers alleged the law-enforcers are yet to arrest any of them, although a case was filed with Rajpara Police Station. They also threatened to go for tougher movement if the accused would not be held and tried immediately. The college teachers Touhid Zaman and Ashraful Islam, among others, spoke. Earlier on Thursday, a group of Moitree workers led by the college unit president Kausar Ahmed and general secretary Anik Mahmud assaulted Azizur Rahman, a teacher of the college as he refused to give Tk 20,000 as extortion money. Mokaram Hossain, officer-in-charge of the police station, said they are trying to arrest the accused.
