A fourth-year student of Dhaka University was allegedly beaten by Jagannath Hall Chhatra League general secretary Otonu Barman and his followers on Thursday night, reports UNB.
The victim is Rakibul Hasan Sajib, a student of Institute of Social Welfare and Research and resident of university's Haji Muhammad Muhsin hall.
Injured Sajib said he was returning to his hall around 11pm on Thursday and as he reached in front of Udayan Higher Secondary School, Otonu Barman and his followers, who were on motorcycles, came in front of his motorcycle from the opposite side.
They locked in an altercation as Sajib asked them to stop fearing they could have faced an accident.
"At one point of the argument, a group of 20 to 25 followers of Otonu Barman started hitting me even though I identified myself as a student of the university," he further said.
Later, two of Sajib's friends came and took him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for primary treatment.
When asked about the incident, Otonu Barman said no such incident happened.
He said, "When we were passing Swadhinata Sangram point, a motorcycle suddenly appeared in front of us from the wrong direction. Then I asked the rider the reason for driving through the wrong side of the road."
"The matter was resolved immediately when he apologized for his mistake. We didn't beat him up or assault him physically," Otonu added.
