The move came after some Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) men allegedly beat Moshrraf Shah, the Chittagong University (CU) correspondent of Prothom Alo. The BCL men reportedly threatened the journalist against reporting them or the BCL.
Mosharraf claimed he was beaten up in front of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities on the campus around 11:30am today (24 September) by the followers of BCL's CU unit President Rezaul Haque.
Following the incident, Rezaul told media that he was looking into the matter and would take action against those involved in the attack.
