Four coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement were arrested for extortion at Barind Medical College Hospital in Rajshahi and handed over to the police.

On Tuesday, February 25, the hospital authorities and students caught them red-handed. They were then forced to apologize in front of everyone present and were subsequently handed over to the police.

The arrested individuals, led by the district chief organizer of the organization, Sohag Sardar, had gone to Barind Medical College Hospital to extort money.

According to the incident details, the accused used the organizational identity of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement’s Rajshahi district committee to demand money from the hospital authorities. Among the extortionists were the chief organizer Sohag Sardar, joint convener MA Bari, and Rajshahi University coordinator Miskatul Mishu.

A doctor at Barind Medical College Hospital, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of mob violence, stated that the coordinators were demanding money from various officials. As a result, they were detained and later handed over to the police.

A Rajshahi Metropolitan Police officer commented on the matter, saying, “We are interrogating the accused and will take further legal action.”
