By Sumi Khan
Dhaka, Dec 4 (Ians) A sculpture of Madhusudan Dey, who was brutally killed by the Pakistan Army in March 1971, was partially damaged by some unknown miscreants in the Dhaka University (Du) campus premises.
The incident took place on Wednesday night.
Arun Kumar Dey, youngest son of Madhusudan Dey and current operator of Madhur Canteen, said: "I was busy inside the canteen. At around 7.45 p.m., one of my staff suddenly noticed the partial damage of the sculpture and told me about it.
"I immediately informed the matter to Dhaka University proctor and officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station. They visited the spot and took measure to repair it."
The left ear of the sculpture, placed in front of the iconic cafeteria named after him on the Du campus, was found broken and it was repaired at midnight.
Madhusudan Dey, who was fondly called as 'Madhu da', was far more than a mere cafeteria operator.
