A student of Rajshahi University allegedly stabbed by an activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League on Wednesday night for protesting the harassment of his female friend.
Injured Saiful Islam Hridoy, a masters' student of RU Marketing Department, was admitted to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital.
Witnesses said BCL activists Md Hamza and his two followers teased Hridoy's female friend in the evening while they were sitting in front of the third science building of the university.
They left the place as Hridoy protested them.
But, later, they attacked Hridoy behind the building around 7:45pm while he was alone. They stabbed him, leaving him wounded.
Local people caught Hamza from the spot and informed police. But two others managed to flee the scene.
