SUST VC confined by agitating students
A group of students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) on Sunday confined vice chancellor Farid Uddin Ahmed to a room during ongoing protest on the campus, reports UNB.
Nearly 200 female students of Begum Sirajunnesa Chowdhury dormitory continued their demonstration for the fourth consecutive day on Sunday to press home their three-point demand.
During their peaceful demonstrations, some other male students joined them and allegedly tried to assault the VC while he, along with some teachers and proctor, appeared there and assured them of meeting their demands within a week.
The students allegedly assaulted the VC in front of IICT building and confined him in a room of the building since around 3:00pm.
The students of Begum Sirajunnesa Chowdhury hall, a dormitory for the female students, have been protesting since Thursday to have their three-point demand met by the authorities.
The demands include the removal of the hall provost Jafrin Ahmed and punishment to those who earlier attacked them.
On Thursday night, students of the hall gathered outside VC's residence protesting alleged misbehaviour with them by the hall provost.
