RU student leaves campus in face of Shibir threat
August 31, 2009
An activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Rajshahi University unit, who was given death threat by Shibir cadres on Thursday night and on Friday, left the campus yesterday on receiving a fresh threat.
Shibir (ICS) cadres threatened BCL activist Golam Mostafa with death on Thursday as they branded him as one of the killers of their leader Shariful Islam Nomani on the campus on March 13 this year.
Following the threat, Mostafa lodged a general diary (GD) with Motihar Police Station against five shibir cadres of the hall.
He was again threatened with death on Friday for filing a GD against five Shibir men and asked to leave the campus.
Campus sources said a group of Shibir cadres gathered in front of the hall at around 11:00pm on Saturday. They later entered the hall, came to Mostafa’s room and asked him to quit the campus immediately or face dire consequences.
Mostafa told this correspondent that he has been compelled to leave the campus as the university authorities failed to ensue his security on the campus.
He alleged the university authorities and police are yet to take any step to arrest the Shibir cadres who gave him death threat thrice.
When contacted, RU Proctor Prof Chowdhury Zakaria said he was not aware of Mostafa’s departure from the campus.
“I urged the law enforcers to immediately investigate the matter and arrest the persons responsible,” the proctor said.
