The panic gripped them as the joint forces raided different dormitories two times in the last week to hunt down 'listed' activists of ICS and JCD, who violated state of emergency by taking part in processions and distributing leaflets on the campus criticising the caretaker government.

Meanwhile, many resident students of different dormitories have left the campus fearing further raids by the joint forces.

Some students of Bangabandhu hall alleged that police also interrogated general students during the raids.

Students also alleged that police in their latest raid on May 9 on two dormitories arrested at least nine general students who do not have any political involvement. However, they were freed on bail next day, Motihar Police Station said.

University authorities have approved raids by the joint forces on any dormitory to maintain law and order at the university.

Admitting general students' harassment due to hall raids by police members, RU Proctor Enamul Haque told The Daily Star that we had a discussion with the police on the issue. We requested them to be more careful so that general students are not harassed when the raids are conducted, he added.

Police and intelligence branches recently prepared a list of leaders and activists of ICS and JCD who violated the state of emergency and who have criminal records, sources said.
