Masum Billah, Library and Cafeteria Secretary of the Chittagong University Central Students’ Union (CUCSU), was seriously injured in a sudden attack by miscreants near the university area.
According to sources, the attackers assaulted him with blades and sharp razors, and allegedly attempted to slash his throat, leaving him critically injured.
CUCSU Executive Member Sohanur Rahman said the হামলা occurred when Masum went to a filling station to refuel his motorcycle, where a group of assailants attacked him. He was first taken to the university medical centre and later shifted to Chattogram Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment.
Preliminary reports suggest the attack may be linked to an earlier incident involving a motorcycle accident on campus. A few days ago, a rider named Ariful Islam was involved in an accident that injured a university student, Raj Mahmud. Masum Billah had reportedly mediated the dispute, which resulted in compensation being paid. The attack is believed to be a continuation of tensions stemming from that incident.
CUCSU has strongly demanded that those involved in the attack be brought to justice immediately.
