Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Central Executive Committee expelled Shaon for attempting to rape an indigenous col-lege student, said a press release, signed by its president Saddam Hossain and general secretary Sheikh Wali Asif Imon, pub-lished on its website on Tuesday.

Besides, the committee also dissolved the Jhenaigati upazila unit Bangladesh Chhatra League due to its inactivity for a long period.

According to the release, Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Central Executive Committee has expelled Shaon for breaching party discipline and involvement in criminal activities which tarnished its image.
