Nine young men, including seven Rajshahi University students, have been severely beaten by Bangladesh Chhatra League activists, who accused the former of being members of Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student front of Jamaat-e-Islami. But the Chhatra League activists handed over nine students to police. This year, a number of students from their centre got into Rajshahi University. “We were holding a meeting to give a reception to these students when the Chhatra League activists came and picked us up,” Noman said. Police said they admitted the nine students to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital as they were in bad shape after being beaten up by Chhatra League activists.
