BCL men abduct train driver at CU
Release him after 4 hrs
A driver of a Chittagong University (CU) shuttle train was released four hours after being abducted by the ruling party backed Bangladesh Chhatra League activists yesterday.
The train service remained halted during this time, said CU Proctor Md Siraj-ud-Doula.
Assistant Driver Kamrul Huda was released around 3:00pm, said Station Master SM Fakhrul Alam, adding that Kamrul was abducted from the engine room of a train at Sholoshahar Railway Station around 10:45am.
Kamrul could not be reached for comment.
The CU proctor said BCL activists often abducted train drivers to halt the services for some time to pressurise the CU authorities into giving in to their demands.
“This time nobody demanded anything or claimed responsibility for the abduction,” he said.
On Saturday, two groups, supporters of CU unit BCL President Mamunul Haque and Senior Vice President Abul Mansur Shikder, clashed leaving one activist, Abul Mansur, injured, he added.
