Expelled BCL leader now given post in Jubo League
Mohiuddin Rana, who was expelled from Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Dhaka University over his involvement in leaking questions and digital fraud, is now a member of the newly formed central committee of Jubo League.
Almost a year after holding its 7th Congress, Jubo League, the youth wing of Awami League (AL), announced its 201-member central executive committee and 200-member central committee on Saturday.
Mohiuddin was 186th in the central committee list. Many former and present BCL leaders congratulated him for getting into the committee, as observed in his Facebook profile.
Mohiuddin was a student of physics department at Dhaka University (DU), and was arrested from Shahidullah Hall on October 19, 2017, the night before D-unit admission test.
Law enforcers found soft copies of question papers in his phone and equipment that was used in fraudulent activities, reported different newspapers the next day.
He was an assistant secretary of Central Chhatra League (Sohag-Zakir Committee), and was expelled from BCL the day after he got arrested, said SM Zakir Hossain, then general secretary of BCL.
His expulsion had not even been withdrawn before he was given the Jubo League post, he said.
On January 30, 2018, DU syndicate expelled Mohiuddin and 14 other students for life. In that decision, the authority said Mohiuddin had provided digital devices to admission seekers.
Mohiuddin's name was also in a charge-sheet filed by Criminal Investigation Department (CID) against 125 people, including 87 DU students on June 23, 2019.
In this regard, Saifur Rahman Sohag, organising secretary of Jubo League -- who is also former central president of BCL, told The Daily Star, "We had expelled Mohiuddin, but I need to find out what happened next and how he has got the post now."
On October 20, 2019, Jubo League Chairperson Omar Faruk Chowdhury was relieved of his post amid allegations of corruption, and Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash was elected the new chairperson the next month.
Parash and Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil, general secretary of Jubo League, had unveiled the full committee.
