BCL men foil recruitment test at Jhenidah college: Beat up principal, tear question papers and answer scripts

A group of ruling Awami League men foiled the examination for teacher recruitment at SD Degree College in Kotchandpur upazila under Jhenidah district yesterday.

They also beat up college Principal Amal Kumar Ghosh and his nephew Madhab Kumar Kundo, a candidate for the teacher's post.

As per earlier schedule, the recruitment test for the post of a teacher of political science and a peon of Islamic studies department started at 10:00am yesterday, college sources said.

Angered by the 'information' that Madhab Kumar Kundo will be appointed as teacher of political science although huge money was taken from another candidate for the same post, a group of local AL men attacked the recruitment examination hall, beat up the principal and his nephew, and tore up the question papers, answer scripts and admit cards.

"At around 10:00am, a group of 15/20 Awami League activists including Bayezid Hossain, Mortaza Ali, Monirul Master, Baktar Hossain and Rokonuddin led by Dora union AL president and former UP chairman Kabil Uddin attacked the hall. They beat me and my nephew Madhab Kumar Kundo and tore up the question papers and admit cards," Principal Amal Kumar Ghosh said.

He refuted the allegation of taking money for appointing anyone.

Asked about the matter, Kabil Uddin said, "Principal Amal Kumar Ghosh and college managing Chairman Shahjahan Ali, also Kotchandpur upazila AL general secretary, were trying to appoint Madhab Kumar Kundo although they took Tk 3 lakh from Bayezid for appointment to the same post. Consequently, a section of local AL men attacked them."

College managing committee chairman could not be contacted over cell phone despite several attempts. His cell phone rang repeatedly but nobody received it.
