Police yesterday filed a case against seven named and 20 to 25 unnamed Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists in connection with a clash between police and BCL activists at Chittagong University on Thursday (20 April).
The clash left around 14 people including five police injured.
Sub-inspector of Hathazari Police Station Nazrul Islam filed the case.
The seven are: Abdullah Al Kaiser, assistant secretary of the unit; Sadek Hossain Tipu, assistant secretary; Tareq Iqbal, deputy mass education secretary; and activists Ashiqur Rahman Rony, Atiqur Reza, Anwar Hossain, and Ahmed Ali.
Officer-in-Charge of the station Belal Mohammed Jahangir said the case was filed on charge of assaulting law-enforcers and obstructing them from discharging their duty.
Mentionable, the clash ensued after 40 to 50 CU unit BCL activists obstructed students at the Social Science building minutes before the exam was to start as a fellow BCL man — Abdullah Al Kaiser, assistant secretary of the unit and a fourth-year student of communication and journalism — could not take part in the exam for being suspended earlier by the university authorities.
The BCL men also tried to padlock the hall.
