After some time, another microbus carrying prawns was signaled to stop at the zero point near the university, and the driver quickly took the vehicle and tried to go towards Rupatali. At this time, a motorcycle hit the spot. A Chhatra Dal worker named Arafat was injured. Later, Chhatra Dal leaders and workers chased the microbus. When the car stopped in front of the police patrol car near Rupatali traffic police box, seven to eight Chhatra Dal leaders-activists beat up the driver and assistant of the microbus in front of the police. The driver and assistant were seriously injured. At this time, the glass and other parts of the microbus were vandalized.
Earlier on January 29 at around 11 pm, another car carrying jatka hilsa was stopped at Talukdar Market area of Bhola-Barisal highway and a ransom of Tk 50,000 was demanded. There is also an allegation of beating the driver for not getting the fare.
Several leaders and workers of the university branch Chhatra Dal said on condition of anonymity that under the leadership of the Chhatra Dal president, organizing secretary Mizanur Rahman and vice-president Mia Babul controlled the extortion. Enraged by this, another faction of Chhatra Dal became active on the highway. Allegedly, on the night of May 19, senior vice-president Ashiq and senior joint general secretary Ittesaf R-Rafi’s followers also took a stand to block the car. Later, Chhatra Dal activist Arafat was injured while chasing a nuclear vehicle. After that, another car was stopped in Rupatali and vandalized and the driver was beaten up.
Regarding the complaint, Mia Babul said, ‘I am being framed here. Everyone eats together, but only mine is called. Some local people are also involved in this. I will quickly bring the names of the main hosts forward through journalists.
It is to be noted that on May 1, the Central Chhatra Dal announced the partial committee of the Barisal University Branch Chhatra Dal of 127 members by electing Mosharraf Hossain as the president and Arif Hossain (Shant) as the general secretary.
