The court has granted a three-day remand for the suspects of an attack on Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) Vice President Nurul Haque Nur.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate court gave the order on Tuesday (Dec 24) against the police’s five-day remand plea.

Police will get three days to grill Al Mamun, the general secretary of Muktijuddha Mancha's central committee, Yeasir Arafat Turjo, the general secretary of Muktijuddha Mancha's Dhaka University unit and Mehedi Hasan Shanta, the office secretary.

Police detained Mehedi Hasan Shanto on Tuesday (Dec 24) while Mamun and Turjo were arrested on Monday (Dec 23), Shahbag police Sub-Inspector Rais Uddin told Bangla Tribune's Dhaka University correspondent.

On Sunday (Dec 22), DUCSU VP Nur and at least 15 of his followers were injured in attacks by activists working under the banner of Muktijuddho Mancha on the campus after heated arguments.

Activists of Muktijuddha Mancha allegedly hurled brickbats at DUCSU office room when Nur and some of his associates were inside.

DU Chhatra League President Sanjit Chandra Das and General Secretary Saddam Hussain, who is also the assistant general secretary of DUCSU, came to the building and some activists of the organisation entered it with them.

An altercation broke out when BCL leaders told Nur that he asks "outsiders" to leave the DUCSU offices.

The BCL leaders left after reportedly slapping a five-minute deadline to clear the offices.

The attackers then drove out the Nur’s associate from his room. While leaving the building, they were beaten up by stick-wielding activists.

The attackers took away the hard drive of the building’s security cameras while leaving.

The members of the university’s proctorial team then took Nur and the others to the hospital.

Nur has come under attack on the campus and in different parts of the country after he defeated the BCL candidate in the DUCSU election in March.

He was the pick of the Bangladesh Council to Protect General Students’ Rights that spearheaded a movement forcing the government to scrap quotas, including for freedom fighters’ descendants, in civil service recruitment.
