DU student suspended for sexual abuse

A student of Dhaka University (DU) has been suspended for sexually abusing one of his female classmates.

The decision was taken at a disciplinary committee meeting held at Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate building on Thursday. DU vice-chancellor (VC) professor Akhtaruzzaman presided over the meeting.

“Kabir Ahmed Kaushik, a post graduate student at the communication disorder department, has been suspended as the allegation of sexual abuse against him was found initially true,” stated a press release issued by DU authority.

On 29 September last year, a female student of the same department submitted a written complaint to the university proctor, against Kabir Ahmed Kaushik for abusing her sexually.
