DU boy assaulted
A Dhaka University (DU) student was brutally beaten up at the capital's Shahbagh by a group of students of three private universities yesterday.
The victim, Shoyeb Nabil, a first-year student of Psychology department, was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in a critical condition and later, shifted to LabAid Hospital, DU Proctor Prof MA Ali told The Daily Star.
"Nabil is being observed in Intensive Care Unit (ICU)", the proctor added.
Sirajul Islam, officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station, said a group of six to seven students of three private universities swooped on Nabil at Sagabagh intersection at around 5:00pm as he protested an altercation between a bus conductor and the students of the private universities over bus fare.
A case was filed in this connection accusing unknown persons.
Meanwhile, protesting the incident, a section of DU students, numbering around 300, took to the street at Sahabagh intersection at around 5:45pm.
They, however, called off their protest at the request of DU authorities.
