Kawkhali police are yet to record an online general diary, filed by the victim on Saturday over Thursday’s attack on activists at Kawkhali in Rangamati on their way back from a rally demanding justice for Kalpana Chakma.
The police, however, are yet to record the GD, saying that it needs to be verified before recording the GD and could not notice it for internet disruption.
University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh lecturer Oliur Rahman filed the online GD against Md Emran Hossain, president of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party student wing Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal’s Kawkhali Degree College unit, general secretary Md Naeem Hossain Himel and another unidentified individual.
Confirming the matter, Oliur told ¶¶Òõ¾«Æ· that he submitted the GD online at about 3:30pm on Saturday over the attack in which three of them sustained injuries.
‘None of the attackers were previously known to us. After the attack, we were able to identify two of the attackers with the help of social media,’ he said.
Kawkhali police officer-in-charge Saiful Islam said that he did not know about the GD yet due to the disrupted internet issue.
‘We will check and verify the information,’ he said, adding that no such incident occurred in the area under the jurisdiction of Kawkhali police station.
According to the GD, the accused on a motorcycle waylaid the vehicle of Oliur along with rights activist Marzia Prova, and Revolutionary Students’ Unity’s Dhaka University unit president Nuzia Hasin Rasha and attacked them on the road between Bawali Masjid and BNP Club at Kawkhali at about 4:30pm on Thursday while they were returning to Dhaka after attending the rally.
Hill Women’s Federation organised the rally on the occasion of 29 years of disappearance of the then organising secretary Kalpana Chakma, who was abducted in 1996 and never returned.
