The general secretary (GS) of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) of Jahangirnagar University (JU) unit, SM Abu Sufian Chanchal, was allegedly assaulted by a former leader on Friday night. The incident took place in front of Shaheed Salam Barkat (SSB) Hall around 10:30 PM when former JU BCL secretary and former vice-president of central committee Razib Ahmed Rasel assaulted him. After being assaulted, Chanchal left the place.

According to the witnesses, former GS Razib Ahmed Rasel came to the campus and met Chanchal in front of SSB Hall to discuss the party’s internal issues. At one stage, Razib got angered and slapped him, they said. Seeking anonymity a BCL leader said, “For a long time, an internal clash was prevailing between them over establishing supremacy on the campus.

Although Chanchal was loyal to Razib, he also started to maintain liaison with BCL central committee president Rezwanul Haque Chowdhury Shovon.”
