Pro-AL men attack cop barrack, office in Cox's Bazar

Clash with police over arrest of BCL leader; 15 hurt

Our Correspondent, car's Bazar
At least 15 people, including a constable, were injured, as more than a hundred pro-Awami League activists clashed with police and vandalised a barrack and an office of the force in Cox's Bazar town last evening, after traffic police seized the motorcycle of a Bangladesh Chhatra League leader for not having valid documents of the vehicle.
Mojibur Rahman, president of Cox's Bazar town unit of the AL, was among five of the injured who suffered pellets fired by police, to disperse the agitating activists of the ruling party, its youth wing Jubo League, and BCL. All the five were treated at Cox's Bazar Sadar Hospital, said doctors.
Police claimed a constable was injured by BCL firing.
Around 5:30pm, traffic police intercepted the town unit BCL deputy religious affairs secretary, Himu, at Laldighi Par and seized his
vehicle, as he failed to show the registration documents.
After he altercated with the cops and refused to let his vehicle take away, police took him and two of his fellows to the Sadar Model Police Station. As the news spread, the district BCL president, Ali Ahmed, with more than a dozen leaders and activists, went to the police station around 7:15pm and demanded Himu's release. At one point, a scuffle broke out between the law enforcers and the BCL men, said both police and BCL men.
The furious BCL men then called up more BCL, Jubo League, AL men and started vandalising a police barrack and an office of the traffic police in the area, said Officer-in-Charge of Cox's Bazar Model Police Station Mahfuzur Rahman.
The agitation spread in other areas when the town AL president Mojibur brought out a procession after visiting the police station and failing to get Himu freed. At Laldighi Par, the agitators
vandalised the ATM booth of state-run Pubali Bank and some vehicles. To control the situation, police fired pellets leaving five of the pro-AL activist injured.
Ali Ahmed, president of BCL district unit, said police severely beat him up and some of his fellows when they went to the sadar police station around 8:00pm.
The OC, Mahfuzur Rahman, however, said police charged batons on the BCL men as they tried to besiege the police station for freeing their fellows.
The tense situation came to a stop after the deputy commissioner visited the injured at the hospital and held a meeting with top AL, Jubo League, and BCL leaders and police officials at his office at 10:00pm, and the detained BCL was released.
Meanwhile, a street boy age around 12 was seriously injured during the clash. He was hospitalised.
