All of them are activists of Jasim Uddin Hall unit BCL.Kazi Enayet, general secretary of the Jasim Uddin Hall BCL, said he had suspended the four from the unit.
The victim, a student of Mass Communication and Journalism department, filed a complaint with Shahbagh Police Station accusing the four of stalking her.Rezaul Karim, officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station, said police had not been able to arrest the culprits as the BCL activists had gone into hiding.

An hour later, the BCL activists attempted to attack the students but got beaten up as their move was countered by the protestors.
