Exemplary punishment of killers of BCL leader Sohel demanded
DHAKA, JAN 13, 2019 (BSS) – Former leaders of Bangladesh Chhatra League
(BCL) today demanded exemplary punishment for the killers of former BCL
central leader and Chattogram Commerce College unit general secretary Md
Mohiuddin Sohel.
They made the call at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters’ Unity (DRU)
auditorium in city’s Segunbagicha area this morning.
Mentioning that Sohel had a clean image, former president of BCL Mahmud
Hasan Ripon said, “Even a general diary was not lodged against him.”
The perpetrators not only killed him, but also labelled Sohel as an
extortionist by spreading falsehood about the BCL leader, he said, adding,
“We are strongly condemning such falsehood and demanding punitive punishment
against the killers.”
BCL Former Vice-Presidents Rashidul Mahmud Russel, Hasanuzzaman Chowdhury
Liton, Rafiqul Alam Gaffari Rasel, Md Abu Sayeed, Fazlul Haque, Joint General
Secretary Shahinur Rahman Tutul, Iqbal Mahmud Bablu, Ripon Poddar, organising
secretary Mizanur Rahman Shaheen and publicity and publication secretary
Arifur Rahman Ujjal, among others, were present at the press conference.
Sohel was beaten to death by a mob in Pahartali railway market in the port
city on Monday.
