Student strikes called

JCD, BCL blame each other for Valentine's Day blasts

DU CORRESPONDENT
Six opposition-backed student organisations yesterday called a student strike at Dhaka University (DU) today and all educational institutions in the country tomorrow demanding immediate investigation and punishment of the culprits involved in Monday's bomb blasts at a Valentine's Day crowd on DU campus.
Led by the Awami League's (AL) student wing Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student bodies also threatened to go on an indefinite strike at all the educational institutions if the 'real culprits' are not arrested in the next two days.
At least 16 people including 12

DU students were injured in the blasts at the TSC road island on the campus.
DU students and teachers have expressed surprise that police did not guard the spot after the incident nor preserve evidence of the explosions. The place was found cleaned and washed yesterday and some 'tokai' took away things that could be valuable evidence, they mentioned.
Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Mizanur Rahman claimed however that all pieces of evidence were 'properly preserved'.
When contacted, DU Vice Chancellor SMA Faiz said, "So far as I know, police were deployed at the spot after the incident."
He also said he did not know who cleaned the spot or whether the pieces of evidence were necessary or not. INVESTIGATION
Dhaka University authorities yesterday formed a seven-member probe body headed by Prof AFM Yusuf Haider, pro-vice chancellor of the university, to investigate Monday's bomb blasts at TSC, reports BSS.
The committee, formed at a syndicate meeting held at the DU registrar building last night with Vice chancellor Prof SMA Faiz in the chair, will submit a report 'within shortest possible time.'
President of Dhaka University Debating Society (Duds) Mehidi Hasan Tamim lodged a case with Ramna Police Station in connection with the blasts.
Mahbubur Rahman, officer-in-charge of the police station, said they have started investigating the incident and collected evidence from the spot. BLAME GAME
The ruling BNP's student front Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and the AL-backed BCL have blamed each other for the incident.
The JCD brought out a procession and held a rally on the campus yesterday demanding immediate arrest and punishment of BCL activists who 'hurled the bombs in a planned way' to destroy the congenial academic atmosphere on the campus.
The BCL laid a siege to the VC's office yesterday demanding 'peaceful coexistence' of all at the DU halls.
The Duds brought out a silent procession and held a rally at the Central Shaheed Minar demanding arrest and punishment of the culprits.
Left-leaning Bangladesh Chhatra Union (BCU) blamed 'fundamentalist groups' for the bomb attacks.
