1 dead after student groups clash in Bangladesh

DHAKA, Bangladesh – Two rival student groups tied to mainstream political parties have clashed on a major public university campus in northwestern Bangladesh, leaving one student dead and 50 others injured, authorities said Tuesday.
 
Local police official Sardar Nurul Amin said his officials on Tuesday recovered the body of 23-year-old Faruk Hossain from an underground sewerage drain at Rajshahi University in Rajshahi city, which is 145 miles (235 kilometers) northwest of the capital, Dhaka.
 
Amin said Hossain's body bore stabbing marks, and at least 10 police were among the injured.
 
The groups _ one linked with the ruling Bangladesh Awami League and another tied to opposition Jamaat-e-Islami _ battled each other overnight with gunfire and sharp weapons after two activists from rival groups on Monday fought over entry of a student to his dormitory room.
 
Police said the victim was a mathematics student and a member of Bangladesh Chhatra League, which belongs to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ruling Awami League party.
 
Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of the country's main Islamic party, has dominance at various colleges and universities across the country.
 
The injured were being treated at hospitals, Amin said.
 
Such violence on campuses in Bangladesh is common, as the student wings try to dominate educational institutions for mainly nonacademic benefits like building renovation projects and procurement of laboratory equipement and control of admission procedures.
