CU expels 3 BCL activists for assaulting teachers
Chittagong University authorities have expelled three students belonging to Bangladesh Chhatra League and declared two others persona-non-grata on the campus for assaulting some teachers.
The Board of Residence, Health and Discipline in an urgent meeting took the decision for assaulting teachers and bringing out a procession defying rules.
Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Abu Yusuf presided over the meeting held at his office.
The expelled students are: Kazi Mohammad Alam of Anthropology department, Shantanu Mohajan of History department and Ahsan Siddique Rimon of Marketing department.
Alam was also fined Tk 80,000 for damaging a video camera.
Rimon was earlier expelled for one year on disciplinary ground early this year, said Proctor Professor Jasim Uddin.
Jahidul Islam Jewel, known as Black Jewel, and AKM Sohel Rana, who had already been stripped of studentship, were declared persona-non-grata on the campus, said the proctor.
The authority also issued show-cause notices to 15 other students and said the expelled students would not be welcome on the campus for the next one year.
Sources said leaders and activists of the BCL CU unit along with a number of outsiders brought out a procession demanding trial of August 21 bomb blast defying restriction on any kind of procession around the campus.As they moved forward in procession from the university railway station, two members of proctoral body and student affairs adviser Towhid Hossain barred them at the Kanta Pahar area, sources said.
At one stage, some unruly activists manhandled the teachers and injured cameraman Khandaker Moazzem Hossain.
Alam allegedly broke the camera while the cameraman was recording footages of the unruly students.
When contacted, BCL General Secretary Ershad Hossain claimed they took permission for the procession from the authorities concerned three days back.
“As the authorities took away their banner forcibly, some activists became agitated and went beyond control,” he said.
Vice Chancellor Abu Yusuf told The Daily Star that actions were taken against them for defying disciplinary rules of the university.
Sources said some expelled BCL activists and leaders intentionally were grouped in a bid to take control of the campus and hamper the academic atmosphere.
