Student of USTC sent to jail for ‘assaulting teacher’

A court in Chattogram on Wednesday sent a student of University of Science and Technology Chittagong (USTC) to jail for allegedly assaulting a teacher by pouring kerosene on him, reports UNB.

The court passed the order after police produced Mahmudul Hasan, a Master's student of English department of the university, before it, said officer-in-charge of Khulshi police station Pranab Chowdhury.

A group of USTC students dragged professor Masud Mahmud out of his office on Tuesday and Mahmudul poured kerosene on his body.

Acting registrar of the university Dilip Kumar Barua filed a case in this regard while a probe committee was formed to look into the incident.
