Injured teachers Md Fariduddin of Civil Engineering Department and Mahfuzur Rahman of Electronics Department were admitted to Khulna Medical College Hospital. According to police, the BCL cadres attacked the teachers as they refused to admit students in the second shift of the institute as per a list given by them. According to KPI principal Md Shajahan, the BCL activists also confined the teachers to a room and locked the collapsible gate of the academic building. The teachers were later rescued by the members of Rapid Action Battalion-6. None was arrested till filing of this report.
