Haji Selim’s car vandalised by JnU students
bdnews24.com :
Students of Jagannath University (JnU) have vandalised a car of Dhaka-7 MP Haji Selim’s protocol.
The incident took place in presence of the independent lawmaker at around 4:30pm on Sunday at Naya Bazar intersection in Old Dhaka, police said.
Selim confirmed bdnews24.com of the development, but said, “There’s no need to run a report on this.”
Kotwali Police Station Sub-Inspector Mahmud said the students damaged the MP’s protocol car, but police after a while took control of the situation.
Witnesses said, a spat between students on the
university’s Savar-bound bus ‘Bongshi’ and the car’s driver led to the vandalism.
They said, the driver of the white microbus, which came from the opposite direction and escorted Selim’s car, did not want to back up and clear the path for the bus. That led the agitated students to go berserk.
JnU students had demonstrated for a month earlier this year for the ‘recovery’ of Tibet Hall situated in GL Partho Lane in Patuatuli’s Wiseghat area, which, they alleged, has been occupied by Haji Selim since 2000.
Selim has even built ‘Gulshan Ara City Market’ after tearing down most of the dormitory’s main building. He claims he owns that land. One of the students, ‘Asad’ on Saturday said, “Haji Selim has occupied one of our dormitories. Now he is showing off his power on the road. That’s why we taught him a lesson.”
