Brutality at RU

Cops point finger at Shibir men

Staff Correspondent
Tuesday's brutal attack on two Chhatra League leaders at Rajshahi University was carried out allegedly by Islami Chhatra Shibir cadres.
"The modus operandi of the attack suggests it was an act of Shibir," said Proloy Chichim, deputy commissioner of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP).
The way Abdullah Al Masud and Togor Mohammad Saleh were attacked matches other assaults that Shibir carried out on the campus in the past, said the police official.
Police also claimed that some of the attackers were identified Shibir cadres of the RU.
"Their motive was to take revenge and to regain supremacy on the campus," he added.
On Tuesday, a group of miscreants, allegedly Shibir cadres, ambushed Masud, assistant secretary of the RU unit BCL andTogor, scholarship affairs secretary of the university unit student front of the ruling Awami League, in front of Ziaur Rahman Hall around 8:15am. They cut tendons of both hands and legs of Togor and severed Masud's right ankle and cut the tendons of his left leg.
Police said a special kind of cutter was used for severing the tendons and a number of Shibir people were arrested earlier with such contraptions.
The victims are currently undergoing treatment at the National Institute of Traumatology and Rehabilitation (Nitor) in the capital.
"Masud is now at the ICU (Intensive
at Shibir men Care Unit). His right leg has been amputated already. And it is uncertain whether his left leg could be saved," Atikur Rahman, vice president of the RU BCL, told The Daily Star from the Nitor over the phone.
Earlier on Sunday, Masud and Togor had beaten up Madar Bux Hall unit Shibir president Waliullah Mahmud and handed him over to police.
"Shibir men threatened Masud and other leaders over the phone and vowed revenge after the incident", said Atikur.
The BCL leader said the attack was an act of retaliation and Masud could identify some of the attackers to be from the History department of the university.
Meanwhile, RU teachers and students and different political organisations demanded exemplary punishment of the attackers.
Over two hundred teachers and students of folklore and history departments, which Togor and Masud were students of, formed a human chain on the campus.
The BCL brought out a procession on the campus and vowed to resist Shibir activities on the RU premises. PROTEST RALLY AT DU
The BCL staged a rally on the Dhaka University campus yesterday, protesting the Shibir attack on two BCL leaders at RI I.
At the rally, acting president of the organisation Joydeb Nandi demanded immediate arrest of the attackers.
"Otherwise, we will launch a wave of movements at all universities across the country simultaneously," he added.
