Police have filed a case against 75 Chhatra Dal, Jubo Dal, and Swechhasebok Dal men over attacking law enforcers in Bogura town’s Khokon Park area on Wednesday.

Some 500-600 unnamed people have also been accused in the case.

Law enforcers picked up 29 people in connection with the case in the last two days.

Yesterday, a Bogura court sent the arrestees to jail after they were produced before it.

At least 11 people, including five policemen, were injured in a clash between Chhatra Dal men and police in Bogura town’s Khokon Park area on Wednesday over walking on the Shaheed Minar wearing shoes.

The JCD men had gathered in the area to join a programme marking the 41th founding anniversary of the organisation.

According to the case statement, the 75 accused, along with some 500-600 unidentified “leaders and activists”, attacked police, tried to snatch away their arms, snatched the trigger guard of a police rifle and beat up five cops with bamboo sticks during the incident.

Among the 75 accused are presidents and general secretaries of the JCD’s 12 upazila units in Bogura.

Speaking to The Daily Star yesterday, a local Chhatra Dal leader said police accused Al Razib, senior vice president of the student front’s Bogura town unit, in the case. But he had landed in jail on November 25 in another case, claimed the JCD leader.

Asked about the matter, Bogura Sadar OC SM Badiuzzaman said there might be a mistake in accusing one or two people. “We will verify the information.”

Contacted, local BNP lawmaker GM Siraj said filing of the case against so many Chhatra Dal men was “a planned game” of the ruling Awami League.
