Students demand removal of instructor for stalking

Students of Chittagong Mahila Polytechnic Institute yesterday locked the academic building and halt academic activities on the campus demanding removal of Jahirul Islam, a hostel super and chief physical instructor, from his service who allegedly was involved in stalking.
They staged a sit-in programme and arranged a rally following a procession that paraded the campus and adjoining areas to press home their demand.
At the programme, they urged the polytechnic authorities to give exemplary punishment to Jahirul and take stern action against him.
They said Jahirul was not only involved in sexually harassing the students but also involved in corruption.
They announced non-stop sit-in programme on the campus and solidarity rally at Central Shahid Minar on Tuesday.
