Suspected Islami Chhara Shibir activists severed the tendons of a hand and a leg of Rajshahi University (RU) Chhatra League unit General Secretary SM Touhid Al Hossain Tuhin on Thursday night.
The incident took place near Amir Ali Hall at around 10pm. RU unit leaders of the Awami League’s student wing have blamed the student front of the Jamaat-e-Islami for the attack.
Tuhin was admitted to Rajshahi Medical College and Hospital. Preparations were being made to send him to Dhaka for better treatment, said bdnews24.com’s Rajshahi Correspondent from the hospital.
RU Chhatra League unit President Mizanur Rahman Rana told bdnews24.com: “Tuhin was on his way to Madar Bakhsh Hall from Amir Ali Hall when he was attacked.”
Shibir ‘miscreants’ came by motorcycles out of nowhere and started hacking him with sharp weapons. They also cut the tendons of his left hand and right leg at the time, Rana said.
The assailants fled the scene after exploding two crude bombs, he said.
On Nov 21 last year, unidentified miscreants had also cut the tendons of RU Chhatra League unit Vice-President Akheruzzaman Takim’s hands and legs in a similar attack.
