Rivals stab JCD leader
Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) Madan Mohan College unit president Kazi Meraj was stabbed by his rival party men on the campus yesterday afternoon.
Police and campus sources said JCD activists Madhab, Pallab and Prince swooped on Meraj near the college mosque at around 4:30pm. They stabbed in his shoulder and legs and left the campus on a motorbike.
The JCD leader was rushed to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital. No case was filed in connection with the incident as of 7:00pm yesterday.
Meanwhile, a Sylhet court yesterday acquitted seven JCD men of the district and city units in a case filed against them under the Speedy Trial Act last year.
They are JCD district unit assistant secretary Azizul Hossain Aziz and city unit activists Liton Kumar Das, Mostafa Kamal Farhad, Emdad, Abu Saleh Shamim, Aminul Islam Saju and Maidul Haque.
Senior Judicial Magistrate Enayet Kabir Sarker passed the order as charges brought against the seven could not be proved.
Businessman Abdul Hasib Chowdhury filed the case under the Speedy Trial Act on May 5, 2010, alleging that the JCD men assaulted him and vandalised his car.
