Some activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League’s (BCL’s) Government Titumir College unit reportedly went on a rampage vandalising 20 vehicles and some shops in front of the college in the city’s Mohakhali area yesterday, reports UNB. Officer-in-charge of Banani Police Station Bhuiyan Mahbub Hossain said a group of BCL men of the college suddenly took to the streets around 2:30pm and vandalised 15-20 vehicles and some footpath shops, disrupting traffic from Amtali to Gulshan-1 for half an hour. Police rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control firing 5-6 gunshots.
Vehicular movement on the road returned to normalcy around 3 pm. Contacted, Titumir College unit BCL president Qazi Mirazul Islam Dolar told the news agency, “Some youths of an area adjacent to the college beat up our students and snatched money from them.” “The incident occurred as a young man, Rabbi, beat up a student of the college in front of it today (Monday). Hearing the news, some of its students rushed in and beat up Rabbi,” he said. When Rabbi’s men threw brick chips at the college students, the general students took to the streets and carried out the vandalism, he added.
