Dinajpur Medical College closed

The students were leaving their dormitories till filing of this report yesterday. Sporadic clashes took place between JCD and Shibir on Saturday and Sunday over control of a hall room.

Of the injured, 11 ICS activists were admitted to Rangpur Medical College Hospital (RMCH) in a critical condition while others were shifted to other hospitals and clinics.

The Dinajpur Medical College academic committee, at a joint meeting yesterday, formed a five-member probe committee led by Dr Mosaddeque Hossain to investigate the matter. The committee was asked to submit its report within three days of its formation.

Campus sources said, JCD activists ousted ICS cadres from the room Saturday afternoon triggering violence. Both the clashing groups used lethal weapons including Chinese axe, hammer, iron rod and bi-cycle chain during the clash.
