Activists of Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) have detained Md. Fahim Shahriar Rifat, former deputy sports secretary of the Shahjalal Hall unit of the banned Chhatra League.
The incident occurred on Tuesday (November 10) afternoon in the Jabbar Intersection area of the university. He was subsequently handed over to the university's proctorial body. According to relevant sources, the detained Rifat is a postgraduate student in the Faculty of Veterinary Science.
BAU unit Chhatra Dal Convener Md. Atiqur Rahman, Member Secretary Md. Shafiqul Islam, Senior Joint Convener A M Shwaib, along with other organization leaders, were present during the detention. Regarding the incident, BAU unit Chhatra Dal Convener Md. Atiqur Rahman stated that the banned Chhatra League is attempting to create anarchy and sabotage across the country.
Following an attempted arson incident on the BAU railway line the previous day where two individuals were detained and handed over to the police, Chhatra League leader Fahim Shahriar Rifat was detained while maintaining campus security vigilance and handed over to the proctorial body today.
He further stated that Chhatra Dal will always remain vocal for the safety of general students, a proper educational environment, and student rights. Aligning with Tarique Rahman's statement, their position remains clear: they are on the streets and will stay on the streets in the interest of the students.
BAU Assistant Proctor Assistant Professor Dr. Md. Masud Rana stated that a few students detained him while he was moving suspiciously around the Jabbar Intersection area and later handed him over to the proctorial body. He added that an investigation was conducted to verify if the student was involved in any criminal activity.
Upon reviewing the university's CCTV footage, no evidence of his involvement in criminal acts was found, nor was there any prior criminal record against him. Consequently, under the Proctor's instruction, he was released after signing a written undertaking.
