Row Over Bill: Restaurant employees beat up 4 BCL men

At least four activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) of Sher-e-Bangla Agriculture University unit including its general secretary were injured after being beaten by a restaurant's employees over paying the bill in the city's Mohammadpur yesterday.

The injured General Secretary Alamgir Sarwar alias Mamun was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital while the three others were given first aid.

Police held two people -- Syed Hossainur Islam Talukder, a relative of the owner of the restaurant Anurag at Mirpur road; and employee Rakib Hasan -- in this connection.

Some of the university students said the three students engaged in an altercation with the restaurant's employees over the bill around 3:00pm. They called Mamun over phone and he also engaged in a scuffle with the employees.

At one point, the employees took them inside the restaurant, pulled the shutters down and beat them, they added.

The locals said some of the university students used to pay less, which might have triggered the incident.

Sub-Inspector Sheikh Md Sirajdullah of Mohammadpur Police Station said the university Proctor Hasanuzzaman Akand filed a case naming five people and at least six others unidentified in this connection.
