Our Correspondent, Moulvibazar
Student activists belonging to Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, Chhatra League and other parties, joined by cross-sections of people, began a mass hunger strike here for release of madrasa student Omar Faruk Tipu and withdrawal Srimangal thana Officer-in-Charge Abdul Majid Bhuyan for arresting him in a 'false' case. The hunger strike, being staged at the Chowmuhuni Square in the town, will continue until Tipu is released and the OC withdrawn, the organisers said. Tipu, son of retired primary school teacher Abdul Gafur of Bangabir Road in the town was arrested on July 3 on a 'false' charge of theft, they claimed. Tipu is a student of Srimangal Anwarul Ulum Fazil Madrashah. After Tipu's arrest arrest, students people formed an action committee, which gave the authorities a 48-hour deadline for his release. But Srimongal police sent him to Moulvibazar jail on July 5.
