The BCL leader, who was shot during a gunfight between two BCL factions at Rajshahi University early yesterday, succumbed to his wounds in a Dhaka hospital nearly 12 hours after the incident.
The body of Abdullah Al Hasan Sohel, joint convener of BCL Sher-e-Bangla Hall unit, was sent to his village home in Rangpur after a post mortem at Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue.
His father Abdus Salam Sarkar is a madrasa teacher and also Kaunia upazila ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami.
Meanwhile, the university authorities formed a committee to probe the incident.
Sohel, a second year student of Sociology Department at RU, was the eldest among five brothers and sisters.
The gunfight broke out at about 12:15am following an altercation between BCL RU unit organising secretary Tauhid Al Tuhin and BCL vice president Akhteruzzaman Takim.
Tuhin is a follower of BCL RU unit president Ahmed Ali while Takim is a supporter of its general secretary Abu Hossain Bipu. The two got into an altercation over verbal abuse of Ahmed by Bipu's supporters.
Following the clash, law enforcers along with university officials raided Suhrawardy and Madar Baksh halls till 5:00am but found nothing, reports our RU correspondent.
Ahmed said the clash stemmed from tension between his and Bipu's followers after some of Bipu's supporters joined his group a few days back.
Bipu said the incident happened because of a misunderstanding between BCL leaders and activists.
He said they had recommended that the central committee suspend its eight leaders and activists, who were allegedly involved in the gunfight.
In the evening, the university syndicate in an emergency meeting formed a five-member committee to probe the incident. The committee headed by Prof Golam Kabir was asked to submit report within a week.
