Live Correspondent: Two leaders of the Dhaka University (DU) unit Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) were expelled on Saturday for violating the organization's discipline.

The expelled leaders are Mohaiminul Islam Imon, former vice president of the Masterda Surja Sen Hall Chhatra League, and Rajib Hossein Robin, former vice president of the Shahid Sergeant Zahurul Huq Hall Chhatra League.

Chhatra League President Saddam Hossain and General Secretary Sheikh Wali Asif Inan issued a notice on the decision on Friday.

The notice said the two were expelled for activities that were against the organization, disruptive to discipline, criminal, and undermined the dignity of the ruling party’s student wing.

Imon and Robin were caught and later handed over to police in front of the Kali Mondir on Thursday evening while in the act of extorting money from a group of visitors, who came to Boi Mela from Chandpur.

The two had extorted Tk 1,500 from four people after identifying themselves as police, said Noor Mohammad, chief of Shahbagh Police Station.

They then returned Tk 600 to them so they could get back home while keeping Tk 900 for themselves.
