Police in Jaintapur upazila said that four activists of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) perished late last night when their microbus on Sylhet-Tamabil Road crashed into a ditch beside the road.

They were active members of the Chhatra League despite not holding any positions.

Of the victims, Tamal was a candidate for the position of BCL's upazila unit general secretary.
