attacked as they participatedat a human chain programme, organised by SBMC unit of Samajtantrik Chhatra Front (SCF), in front of academic building at 1:00pm.
Mosdy female students of the college, including the dau^iter of its principal, and activists of SCF's BM College unit took part in the programme demanding punishment of the BCL activists involved in the sexual abuse, said witnesses and the victims.
Dr Md Shahidul Alam, principal of the college, rushed to the spot soon after the pre-schedu1ed programme started. Assuring punishment of the culprits, he asked the protesting students to postpone the protest programme saying that the college authorities had already formed a probe committee to look into the matter.
The protesting students then cut short their programme, but while returning to their dormitories BCL cadres Anisur Rahman, Plabon and others led by Harunur Rashid Harun, BCL president of SBMC unit,
swooped on them.
The attackers hurled abusive words and beat Manisha Chakraborty, a fourth year student and SBMC convener of SCF; Nabila Alam, member of the conveningcommittee and the principal's daughter; Imran Habib Rumon, SCF central organising secretary; Riazul Huq Sumon, BM College unit president; and Badruddoza Saikat, BM College unit secretary.
Police intercepted and rescued the protesting SCF activists.
Principal Dr Shahidul said he was not aware about yesterday's attack by BCL activists on the protesters.
SBMC unit BCL President Harun denying his role in yesterday's attack said they only drove away the outsiders from the campus as those were “trying to destabilise academic situation".
A seven-member probe committee was formed on Sunday led by Vice Principal Dr Syed Maksumul Huq. The probe body was asked to submit its report within seven working days, said the principal.
Dr Maksumul said they called a meeting of the probe committee today and asked the victim, accused students, teachers, officials and staff to give their statements appearing before the committee.
The victim, a student of 43rd batch, was allegedly abused at his hostel room on June 25 and the incident was recorded on mobile phone by Abdul Kaiyum, Ziaul Huq Sumon and Anwar — all leaders of the welfare committee.
The BCL leaders demanded Tk 1 lakh from the victim to prevent spreading of the video through mobile phones and Internet
The victim so far paid Tk 10,000 to the BCL leaders for saving himself from disgrace, but the abusers demanded the rest of the amount immediately. Then father of the victim Sohrab Hossain, a retired school teacher, informed the matter to SBMC principal in writtingand it was publicised in media.
Main accused Abdul Kaium was expelled on Thursday from the college's BCL-led students' welfare committee after reports on
