A legal notice has been served to the government and Dhaka University (DU) authorities demanding adequate security for DUCSU vice president (VP) Nurul Haque Nur.
Appropriate legal proceedings will be taken against the responsible persons if they fail to provide proper security for Nur within seven days, warned the legal notice on Thursday.
Advocate Moniruzzaman Linkon, a Supreme Court (SC) lawyer, sent the notice to the home secretary, vice chancellor and proctor of the DU to ensure security for the DUCSU VP.
In the notice the lawyer said that it is a constitutional duty of the state to protect the life of all citizens. Nur is not just a child of this country, he is also an institution as he has been representing general students of the DU.
Nur has now faced heinous attacks for several times, so special security measure needs to be taken for him, the lawyer said in the legal notice.
On December 22, activists of a fraction of Muktijuddho Moncho, mostly comprised of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) men, allegedly beat up and injured Nurul Haque Nur, storming into his office at the DUCSU building.
About 25 of his supporters were injured in the attack that was carried out at around 12:45pm on the day.
Dhaka University Proctor Prof AKM Golam Rabbani went to the spot around 1:00pm and sent 20 of the injured to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). Of them, 14 were released after primary treatment, and six others, including Nur and Tuhin Farabi, were admitted to the hospital.
