CU teacher gets death threats

An assistant professor of Chittagong University has allegedly received death threats from unknown people via social media.

In this regard, CU Sanskrit department teacher Kushal Chakraborty filed a general diary (GD) with Hathazari Model Police Station on October 18.

In the GD, Chakraborty said he got threats via Facebook messenger app from an ID called "Syed Shahzad" on October 17.

Additional Superintendent of Police Mohiuddin Sohel told The Daily Star yesterday that they are trying to identify those behind the incident.

The CU teacher told this newspaper, "On October 17 night, I had found three text messages and four audio massages on my Facebook messenger inbox from the ID."

"In the messages, a person hurled expletives at me. In the audio, he told that they will kill me," said the teacher, adding, "Now, I am feeling insecure."

The teacher is also founder president of "Sanatan Vidyarthi Samsad" which works for Hindu students at the country's every university and college.

After the incident, CU Teachers' Association demanded immediate arrest of the criminals and the teacher's proper security.
