Boni Amin Molla had asked the general students of the hall to gather in the guestroom yesterday at 7 am to join the programme of paying tributes to the graveyard of three national leaders.  As some of the students were late to attend the guestroom, Amin and other BCL activists assaulted them brutally with sticks and other local weapons for being later. Admitting the incident, Boni Amin said, “We look after our juniors and we love them. We also punish them sometimes.”
“We have to deal with all of their problems” he added. Amin, however, claimed that Ashiq accidentally slipped on the guestroom and got hurt on his own. When contacted over the matter, Dhaka University unit BCL General Secretary Motaher Hossain Prince told The Independent, “The students were involved in a dispute during playing badminton on Friday night. As a consequence, Amin and others, being seniors, warned them in the guest room in the morning”.
