One held over assault on Barishal University student, her husband

Police apprehended one Zahid Hossain Joy from Madaripur Wednesday night over the assault on a Barishal University student and her husband, reports UNB.

The husband on Tuesday night filed a case against Joy, Charkaua Union Ward-6 member Saidul Alam Liton, Makun Mollah and two or three unnamed people, said Officer-in-Charge of Barishal Metropolitan Port Police Station Asaduzzaman.

Joy, Liton, and a few others beat up the student and her husband when they visited the university campus Tuesday evening.

The university students blocked the Dhaka-Kuakata highway at around 9:00pm to protest the incident and announced a 12-hour ultimatum to arrest the accused. They later relented on getting assurances from the administration.
