School and building occupation alleged in Mirpur using student group's name

Allegations have been raised that the South Bishil Adarsha Bidyaniketan and a five-story market building near Mirpur-1 in Dhaka were occupied under the banner of Anti-Discrimination Student Movement. The accusations were made during a press conference held at the Crime Reporters Association of Bangladesh (CRAB) auditorium on Sunday at 12 PM.

Speakers stated that following the uprising in 2024, some opportunistic individuals forcibly occupied the institution and embezzled market funds. The long-standing managing committee was replaced by a new one, and former members are reportedly being threatened despite holding valid documents.

Presided over by institution president Runu Akhter, the written statement was read by Anowara Khatun, sister of founder Kamal Hossain Borkat. The press conference accused several individuals including Amit Hasan, Rifatul Haque Shawon, and Masud Rana of assault, harassment, and forcefully evicting members.
