Nurul Huq Nur, the vice president candidate from quota reformist panel, was assaulted allegedly by some Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists at Ruqayyah Hall during its union election on Monday, reports UNB.

Witnesses said some BCL activists attacked and beat up Nur when he went to the hall during protests by students over alleged irregularities in the election, leaving him injured.

Nur was taken to hospital, witnesses said.

The students staged demonstrations alleging that ballots were stuffed overnight.

They later vandalised polling booths and snatched ballot papers.
