The administration of Dr. Mahbubur Rahman Mollah College has reported the tragic death of three students in a brutal attack on the campus. The authorities stated that the incident was carried out by a group of outsiders who, under the banner of the so-called Seven Colleges students, launched a violent assault on the college premises. The attack left three students dead and more than a hundred students and faculty members injured, some critically. Several of the injured individuals are currently receiving intensive care.

According to the college administration, the attackers were not students but rather individuals associated with terrorist activities, who entered the college with the intention to destabilize the institution. The authorities claimed that some of the attackers were affiliated with Shahid Suhrawardy College and National Medical College. The attackers not only caused widespread destruction but also looted personal belongings of students, valuable documents, and assets belonging to the college. They also damaged several rooms within the college building, including the principal’s office.

In a statement issued on Monday, the college expressed profound grief and outrage over the incident. The administration emphasized that despite multiple requests for assistance from local and higher-level authorities, no substantial actions had been taken to address the situation. As a result, the safety and learning environment of the college have been severely compromised.

The college administration called upon the relevant authorities to take immediate and decisive actions. The demands outlined in the statement included:

  1. Identification and Arrest of the Attackers: The authorities must quickly identify and apprehend those responsible for the attack and ensure they face exemplary punishment for their actions.

  2. Strengthened Security Measures: Immediate action should be taken to enhance security within the college to safeguard the students and staff, preventing such incidents from recurring.

  3. Recovery of Looted Property and Documents: The authorities must take swift steps to recover the stolen assets and restore any important documents that were damaged during the attack.

Furthermore, the college called on all teachers, students, and parents to remain calm and united in the face of such a disturbing event. Despite the severity of the situation, the college stressed the importance of maintaining patience and solidarity while efforts are made to restore a safe and conducive learning environment.

The administration reassured all stakeholders that they are making every possible effort to ensure the return of normalcy and academic activities. However, they expressed the hope that the concerned authorities would take immediate and effective measures to address the ongoing security concerns and ensure the safety of all involved.

The incident has raised serious questions about the security conditions at educational institutions and the growing threat of violence within campuses. While the college awaits a response from the government and law enforcement agencies, the call for swift justice and improved safety measures continues to grow.
