Police club AL women Activists: 20 injured

After chases and counter-chases with the activists of the Mohila League, police arrested four of them from Naya Paltan.

The Mohila League brought out a procession from the Bangabandhu Avenue office of the Awami League to protest the killing of Bangladesh Chhatra League leader Saiful Rasul Palash.

Police swooped on the procession when it reached Bijoy Nagar. The angry processionists damaged a car and a few shops in the area. They hurled brickbats at the police.

Police arrested Sadhana Akter Tuhin, Biplobi Almazi, Farida Yasmin and Nishi and filed against them for damaging properties. They were later produced before the court.

UNB adds: Condemning the police atrocity, opposition leader Sheikh Hasina in a statement yesterday said that the alliance government was out to kill leaders of Awami League and its front organisations.
