There have been allegations of threats against Hasib Al Islam, one of the masterminds of the July sabotage, coordinator and president of the National Student Power Dhaka University branch.

The incident took place in front of the gate of a resort in Srimangal, Moulvibazar, on Tuesday, November 10th.

According to the resort sources, Hasib Al Islam stayed at Balishira Resort as a guest on November 8 with his girlfriend. He entered his name by introducing his girlfriend as his wife. He was supposed to check out today (Tuesday). However, an unpleasant incident happened to Hasib in the morning.

Resort manager Yasir Arafat Swapan confirmed the matter and said, “Hasib entered the resort with a woman posing as his wife. However, he has gone into hiding for self-defense since the attack.”

He further said, “Hasib and I entered the resort as husband and wife. They were guests in Agniveena, room number 118.”

A video of the coordinator, who proudly claims direct involvement in the Metrorail arson and police killings in July, has gone viral.

There, Hasib is seen going somewhere in an autorickshaw with the woman who spent the night in the hotel as his wife. On the way, Chhatra League workers stop the autorickshaw and scold him. At this time, Hasib, frightened, runs to save his life, showing great authority.

The video also shows Chhatra League activists introducing Hasib to the audience as the ‘July militant’. At that time, it can be seen from the shadow falling on the ground that they had something in their hands. However, it is not known exactly what it was.

It is being claimed that local Awami League leaders and activists are involved in this incident.

Former president of National Student Power, Zahid Ahsan, confirmed the incident and said, “July coordinator and National Student Power, Dhaka University president Hasib was attacked with domestic weapons in Moulvibazar. Hasib was injured in the attack. He is undergoing treatment.”

Although Hasib was not seen injured in the video, he was able to run to a safe distance.

Condemning the attack, he further said that the BNP government must take action against the activities of the Awami League Chhatra League. The security of the lives and property of the citizens must be ensured.
