Activists of Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) caught two leaders of the banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) red-handed while attempting to set fire to tires on the railway line adjacent to Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) in Mymensingh on Monday night (November 9).
A third accomplice managed to flee the scene during the incident.
The arrestees were identified as Shaibal, Organizational Secretary of Anandamohan College BCL, and Nirjon, Finance Secretary of the same unit.
According to eyewitnesses, around 11:00 PM on Monday, a group attempted to ignite tires on the railway tracks near Yasin Market inside the BAU campus. JCD activists stationed nearby apprehended Shaibal and Nirjon on the spot and brought them to the university proctor's office.
They were subsequently handed over to Kotwali Model Police Station in Mymensingh. BAU JCD Convener Md Atiqur Rahman, Member Secretary Md Shafiqul Islam, and Senior Joint Convener AM Shoaib, among other leaders, were present during the handover.
JCD leaders condemned the act, stating that allies of the ousted autocratic regime are trying to destabilize the nation, promising that Chhatra Dal remains vigilant to maintain an orderly educational environment for students.
Confirming the incident, BAU Assistant Proctor Professor Dr Kazi Farhad Qadir stated that two individuals were caught burning tires on the railway tracks near Yasin Market while another escaped.
Identifying them as Anandamohan College BCL leaders based on preliminary details, he confirmed that both suspects were handed over to the police for legal action.
