Shibir men cut tendons for keeping hotel open


Some activists of Islami Chhatra Shibir, student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, cut tendons of hands of a person at Shakervita in Jamalpur Sadar upazila on Tuesday for keeping his restaurant open during day time in the holy month of Ramadan.

The incident triggered a clash between ICS activists and local people, in which the Jamaat office and several hotels and shops were damaged.

Angry people also attacked houses of some Jamaat leaders.

The hotel owner--Al-Amin-- has been admitted to Jamalpur General Hospital.

Police quelled the violence. A case was filed with Jamalpur Sadar police.
