BCL men allegedly attack ‘half pass’ protesters

A faction of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) has allegedly attacked students of Titumir College who formed a human chain at Amtoli Mor in Mohakhali seeking half fare at buses on Wednesday (November 17).

Protesters said, about 15-20 BCL men attacked them with batons.

However, BCL leaders of Titumir College unit said, none of the protesters was a student of the college. All of them are outsiders and gathered to create chaos.

One of the protesters Rabbi said, “We gathered here to press home half fare at Alif bus services. But, where Chhatra League came from we don’t know. They beat us. We have ID cards, despite they are saying us, outsiders.”
