CU bus vandalised a day after bomb attack on shuttle train

A bus meant to carry faculty members of Chittagong University (CU) has been vandalised a day after a shuttle train heading for campus was bombed. Three suspects have been arrested from as many as three dormitories following the incident on Tuesday morning, said Inspector Md Moinuddin of the university’s police outpost. The bus was going to pick up teachers from the city when it was attacked at Choudhuryhaat, said proctor Siraj Uddin Doula. No one was injured, he said, adding that police were guarding key points to make the route safe for other transport. A student strike was called from Sunday under the banner of ‘Residential Hall Students’ after the authorities closed down the Suhrawardy Hall when police found several hand bombs among other local weapons there. The raid followed a clash between the activists of two students organisations on the campus on Aug 24. A media statement by ‘Residential Hall Students’ said the strike was to push for reopening closed halls, according to bdnews24.com.
