10 hurt as JU students, villagers clash

JU Correspondent
Seven students of Jahangirnagar University (JU) and three outsiders were injured yesterday in clashes with villagers of adjacent Gerua apparently to avenge an alleged assault on a local youth.
The angry students set fire to five village shops, vandalised 10 other shops and some houses in Gerua Bazar area in retaliation.
The clash erupted at around 3:00pm when about 15 villagers attacked Abdul Alim, a third year student of geology and resident of Shaheed Salam Barkat (SSB) Hall, and his three friends at Hotel Al Madina in Gerua.
The attackers, who allegedly included local ward commissioner's son Zia, swooped on the four with bamboo and hockey sticks and knives when they were about to
have their lunch.
One villager stabbed outsider Rezaul Karim Likhon in the chest and Alim in the back while some others beat up two other outsiders with sticks.
The four however fled the area without taking food. They were undergoing treatment at JU Medical Centre until 8:30 last night.
Some 200 JU students rushed to the area at around 4:30pm and began vandalising shops at Gerua Bazar. The students also vandalised Hotel Al Madina and another 14 shops, mostly grocery stores, and set fire to five.
However, no shop-owners or villagers were injured as they fled the area before the attack.
As the angry students and villagers exchanged brickbats, Halim Jahanqir, a student of government and politics, and five unidentified others were injured. They were treated at the J U Medical Centre.
Police rushed there and fired five times in the air to disperse the students. They picked up two villagers.
The angry students left the area at around 7:00pm after policemen, who were deployed there 10 minutes to the beginning of the rampage, assured them of arresting those who attacked the students.
The students blocked the road that goes through the campus to connect Gerua to Dhaka-Aricha highway.
Some villagers alleged General Secretary of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal Harunur Rashid assaulted a villager yesterday morning and the villagers made the attack to avenge the assault.
