A large number of people participated in the ‘March for Gaza’ program in the capital. The program was held to protest Israel’s planned genocide in Palestine and Gaza. It has been alleged that a Hindu student was beaten up by some miscreants who participated in the program.
It is learned that the student’s name is Shuvan Kumar Ghosh. He is a student of the university’s mathematics department in the 2022-23 session. He made the complaint in a post on the social media Facebook on Saturday (April 12) afternoon.
In that post, Shovon wrote, “I was returning from tuition today, Saturday, at approximately 3:10 pm. On the way back, I was talking to my mother on the phone. The red thread on my hand was visible because my hand was up. At that time, a procession to join the March for Palestine was going from Bata Signal to Shahbagh. I was talking to my mother. That’s why I stood next to the Kantabon Signal instead of crossing the road. At that time, some people were looking at me unusually. I was avoiding them.”
He said that after talking to his mother on the phone, 4-5 people pointed at me and said to each other, “Look at the red thread on his hand. He’s a Hindu.” Then they surrounded me. One of them said, “They are happy when the Muslim community is destroyed.” Another said, “They are supporters of Israel, beat them up.”
He further wrote, “Then, as soon as one person grabbed my shirt collar from behind and pulled it, two more people slapped me 3-4 of the way. At that moment, some unknown people came and protected me. One of them took me to Holgate.” News source-bdtoday.net.
