DHAKA, Jan 14, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today placed Benazir Hossain Nishi, 
former joint general secretary of banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), on 
a two-day remand in a case lodge for assaulting students of Dhaka University 
(DU) during the anti-discrimination student movement.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate GM Farhan Ishtiak passed the order as police 
produced Nishi before the court and pleaded to place her on a 10-day remand 
in the case.

According to the case documents, cadres of Awami League and its front 
organisations launched a vicious attack on the students on DU premises on

DU student Arman Hossain filed the case with Shahbagh Police Station on 
October 28 against 220 people including BCL president Saddam Hossain.
