A Samajtantrik Chhatra Front leader was beaten up allegedly by Bangladesh Chhatra League men as he protested an attack attempt on his fellow at Chittagong University yesterday afternoon.
Fojle Rabby, convener of the CU unit of the front and a master's student of chemistry, said a group led by the unit BCL organising secretary Borhan Uddin assaulted him at a tea stall before the arts and humanities faculty.
Earlier, they tried to beat the Chhatra Front activist Abid over a trivial matter, he said.
Borhan denied the allegation saying he was not present during the incident.
Terming the incident a misunderstanding, CU BCL general secretary Fazle Rabbi Sujan said they had already resolved it.
Progotishil Chhatra Jote leaders condemned the attack.
