Bangladesh Chhatra League’s (BCL) central committee has dissolved its Chittagong University (CU) unit committee.

Sheikh Wali Asif told Prothom Alo, “There were various allegations against Chattogram University Chhatra League. We’ve seen the latest incident of assaulting Prothom Alo correspondent Mosharraf Shah. We dissolved the committee as the incident is embarrassing.”

Earlier this morning BCL men assaulted Prothom Alo Chittagong University correspondent Mosharraf Shah.

Mosharraf said the BCL men have threatened him not to write reports on BCL, the student wing of the ruling Awami League, while he was being beaten up.

He was assaulted at 11:30am on Sunday in front of the faculty of arts and
humanities in the campus.

Mosharraf said followers of BCL’s CU unit (now defunct) president Rezaul Haque assaulted him.

Chief medical officer of the University Medical Center, Abu Taiyab told Prothom Alo that four stitches had to be given on Musharraf's forehead. He also has an injury on his hand. X-ray should be done.

He was sent to Chittagong Medical College Hospital for better treatment.
