Attack on Ducsu VP Nur, His Supporters: Two Moncho leaders detained by police

Detectives yesterday detained Mamun and Turjo, general secretary of its Dhaka University unit, from the capital’s Shahbagh area.

Mamun is a former deputy liberation affairs secretary of the central unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League, the pro-AL student body. Turjo is the organising secretary of DU BCL.

On Sunday, activists of a faction of Muktijuddho Moncho, mostly comprised of Chhatra League men, beat up and injured Nur, storming into his office at the Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu) building.

At least 27 of Nur’s supporters were injured in the attack.

Of the injured, Tuhin Farabi was kept at the intensive care unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital and his condition improved yesterday and he was taken off life support, the hospital’s director, Brig Gen AKM Nasir Uddin, told The Daily Star.

The Moncho, claimed to be comprised of freedom fighters’ children, was founded in October last year to counter the anti-quota demonstrations led by Nur and other quota reformist leaders.
