On resistance, they beat Deputy Registrar of the university Mir Murtaza Ali and four other employees leaving them wounded.
Mr Murtaza filed the case with Ashulia police station naming 12 BCL leaders including former joint general secretary of the central committee Mazhar Anam and unnamed about 90 activists.
