Three activists of the rival group of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), student wing of Awami League (AL) were injured in an attack by the mainstream group of the organisation on the Dhaka University (DU) campus at around 1:45pm yesterday.

The injured were identified as Jewel, Jibon and Mofizul Islam Dhali, supporter of splinter group of the BCL.

A group of 8 to 10 activists of the BCL mainstream group with sharp weapons attacked them in front of Fine Arts Institute while they were taking tea after forming a human chain in protest of the assault of Sima Islam on April 20 (Sunday).

The mainstream activists led by Sohel Rana Mitho swooped on them and fired six rounds of bullets and exploded a crude bomb creating panic among the teachers, students and passer-by.

The injured were rushed to the different city hospital for treatment.

A large number of police deployed on and around the campus to avert further any untoward situation.

Leaders of BCL's rival group Aminur Rahman Jewel and Utfal filed two separate cases with Shahbag police yesterday in this connection of the clash and attack on Sima Islam recently.

Aminur Rahman lodged the case no-45 against BCL, DU unit president Sheikh Sohel Rana Tipu, BCL activist Mithu and Golam Sarwar Kabir, while Utfal filed the case no-46 against BCL, DU unit president Sheikh Sohel Rana Tipu, Mithu and Jewel.
