Violence at CU: Imtiaz clinging on to life in ICU

Imtiaz Ahmed, a master's student of the International Relations
Department at Chittagong University, has been fighting for his life at the ICU
of Parkview Hospital in the port city since Sunday.
He was
critically injured during a clash between CU students and villagers on Sunday
and was placed under life support after undergoing surgery on his head that
night.
Imtiaz's mother, Shahnaj Ameer, shared that she had spoken to
him via video call twice on Sunday afternoon during the clash. She called him
at 1:38pm and again at 1:56pm, urging him to stay away from the clash. Imtiaz
had assured her he was at the university health complex, caring for injured
friends. He also spoke to his father at 2:02pm, but after that, his phone
became unreachable. About an hour later, a CU teacher, also Imtiaz's cousin,
called to inform the family that Imtiaz had been injured and taken to the
hospital.
Upon
hearing the news, Imtiaz's family rushed to Chattogram that same day and has
been outside the ICU clinging to hope that he would recover.
The
recovery of another injured student, Mamun Mia, gave some hope to the family.
Mamun, a
final-year student of the Sociology Department at CU, was also admitted to the
ICU on Sunday and underwent surgery on the head. As his condition improved,
doctors decided to move him to a cabin.
Imtiaz's
father, Ameer Hossain, expressed helplessness. He said they did not understand
treatment matters and hoped the hospital and CU authorities would do their best
for his son's recovery.
