Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of the rulingAwami League, on Wednesday expelled a leader and four activists of its Islamic University unit who were found involved in torturing and humiliating a fresher at a dormitory of the university.
Those expelled from the party are IU BCL unit vice-president Shanjida Chowdhury Ontora, its activists Tabassum Islam, Israt Jahan Mim, Halima Khatun Urmi and Moyabia Jahan.
A press release, signed by BCL president Saddam Hussain and its general secretary Sheikh Wali Asif Enan, was issued in this regard this afternoon.
Chhatra League made the decision against them for violating rules and regulations, breaching discipline and tarnishing the organisation's image, said the press release.
They took the decision two days after the probe body formed by the Islamic University unit BCL sent its investigation report to them through email.
Saddam Hussain told UNB that they expelled the five from the party for violating the party's rules and regulations.
On February 12 night, Fulpori Khatun, a first-year student of the Finance and Banking department, was tortured and intimidated by Ontora and her associates at Deshratna Sheikh Hasina Hall on the university campus in Kushtia.
Deshratna Sheikh Hasina Hall administration on Monday expelled the accused from the hall for their involvement in the incident.
