Another criminal case has been filed against 220
named and 150-200 unidentified leaders and activists of banned student
organisation Bangladesh Chhatra League in connection with the July 15 attack
on agitating students at Dhaka University campus.
“As a number of key attackers’ names were missing in the previous case,
another case was filed with Shahbagh police station,” plaintiff Arman
Hossain, a key coordinator of Anti Discrimination Student movement told a
press briefing inside Shahbagh police station after lodging the case this
evening.
This case has been filed under Section 326, 109 and 114 of the Penal Code,
Said Arman,
Apart from the masterminds and facilitators of the attack, the female BCL
leaders who illegally obstructed the agitating students in the halls, have
also been accused under Section 341 of the Penal Code, Arman added.
Key accused of the case are: BCL president Saddam Hussein, general secretary
Sheikh Wali Asif Enan, DU BCL president Mazharul Kabir Shayon, general
secretary
Tanbir Hasan Shaikat, Jagannath University vice president Imrahim
Sanim and vice president of combined private university BCL Chowdhury Anm
Nokib Ashraf.
The masterminds, instigators and key attackers were implicated in the case,
said a key coordinator Abdul Kader in the press conference.
Plaintiff Arman further said, “We have taken utmost precautions to identify
the attackers…we identified the accused through hours of homework and
reviewing several times so that no innocent people’s name gets included among
the accused.”
The coordinators hoped that people will come forward and take legal move
wherever Awami League leaders and their collaborators tortured and assaulted
people in various ways in the last 15 years
