Dhaka University Central Student Union (DUCSU) Vice President (VP) Nurul Hoque Nur has allegedly been harassed and besieged by Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists within the Salimullah Muslim Hall.

The incident was reported on Tuesday (Apr 2) evening when Nur went to the residential hall to protest the assault of a student there.

BCL activists led by SM Hall unit President Tahsan Hossain Russel and General Secretary Mehedi Hasan Taposh allegedly confined Nur within the premises the moment he entered.

Meanwhile, the hall union VP Kamal Hossain and General Secretary Julius Caesar verbally abused and at one point Kamal reportedly assaulted him for ‘entering the hall without permission’.

One of the people accompanying him was also reportedly assaulted by BCL activists.

Nur maintained that he was there to see the Provost Mahbub Alam Joarder with a complaint.

A human chain demonstration was carried out earlier at DU to protest the attack on SM Hall student Md Farid Hasan.

Nur took part in the protest and entered the hall with a few others to officially lodge a complaint with the provost.

Aroung 6:15pm Provost Alam reached the scene and tried to ease the tension before leaving the hall with Nur and his associates.
