DU launches further investigation
Dhaka University authorities yesterday formed a five-member committee to further investigate into allegations of question leak in its “Gha” Unit admission test.
The committee, headed by Pro-Vice Chancellor (Academic) Professor Nasreen Ahmad, was asked to submit its report within two weeks. The previous three-member committee was led by Pro-VC (Administration) Prof Muhammad Samad, which found proof of question leak.
Other members of the new committee are Proctor Prof AKM Golam Rabbani, Dean of Faculty of Biological Sciences; Prof Md Imdadul Hoque, Syndicate Member SM Bahalul Mojnun, and Jagannath Hall Provost Prof Ashim Sarker.
The same committee was given the charge to investigate the last year's “Gha” Unit question leak allegations. It was then given 48 hours to submit a report, but they could not do so in the last one year.
When asked, Vice-chancellor Prof Akhtaruzzaman acknowledged the matter, and said they chose the same committee because it would be easier to complete the investigation.
“The previous committee (led by Prof Samad) has recommended further probe... CID is investigating the matter, and we are doing our part,” he told The Daily Star.
Results of “Gha” Unit admission test were published on October 16, while the DU VC admitted that the question was leaked. University students protested the move, including one who started a hunger strike demanding a re-exam.
Bangladesh Sadharan Chhatra Odhikar Sangrakkhan Parishad will bring out a protest procession today while DU unit BCL will submit a memorandum to the VC.
