Start process to withdraw case in seven days
The agitated students of Jahangirnagar University yesterday issued a seven-day ultimatum to the university authorities to start a process to withdraw the case filed against 56 students over “vandalism of the vice chancellor's residence” on May 27 following a road accident.
To raise the demand, over 300 students, including the 56, rallied at Central Shaheed Minar on the campus.
The demonstrators threatened to go for a tougher movement if their demand is not met within the stipulated time.
They also demanded reformation of the committee formed to probe into the May 27 incident.
Prof Naseem Akhter Hossain, convener of Teachers-Students Unity Platform, said the case should be withdrawn as early as possible for a congenial atmosphere on the campus.
JU Pro-VC Prof Amir Hussain said, “We will immediately take necessary steps to withdraw the case.”
On May 26, Nazmul Hasan Rana, 24, a student of marketing, and Arafat, 24, of microbiology, were killed as a bus hit a human haulier carrying them on the Dhaka-Aricha highway in C&B bus stand area in Savar.
