Two leaders of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) were injured in an attack by some miscreants at a dormitory of Barishal University (BU) in the early hours of Tuesday.
The injured were identified as Mohiuddin Ahmed Sifat, a student of the Department of Mathematics, and GM Fahad, of the Department of Public Administration. Both of them were Master’s students.
Provost Abu Zafar of Sher-e-Bangla Hall said a group of 10-15 miscreants, wearing helmets, swooped on Sifat and stabbed him while he was asleep.
Later, they also entered the room of Fahad and stabbed him indiscriminately. The hands of Fahad were broken.
Before the attack, the miscreants put the rooms of other students under lock and key from outside.
They were taken to Sher-e-Bangla Medical College and Hospital Tuesday morning.
Some students alleged that Sifat established a reign of terror in the area and he had many rivals for his activities.
Barishal Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Ali Ashraf Bhuiya said legal action will be taken against the attackers after identifying them.
The motive behind the attack could not be known immediately, but police said establishing supremacy might be the reason behind the attack.
