In an unexpected turn of events the Dhaka University administration has decided to issue show cause notices against 26 residential students of Kabi Sufia Kamal Hall for their alleged involvement in harassing Iffat Jahan Esha, president of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) of the hall.
DU Vice-Chancellor Md Akhtaruzzaman, however, declined to disclose their
names when media persons asked for the list of names.
“In primary investigation, those 26 resident students of Kabi Sufia Kamal Hall have been found involved in harassing Esha, creating chaos and spreading rumors on the night of April 11 at the dormitory of the university,” said DU VC Akhtaruzzaman on Thursday noon.
“The decision to issue show cause notice was taken at a disciplinary committee meeting on Wednesday,” he added.
At the same disciplinary board meeting, the DU authorities withdrew Esha’s expulsion order issued on April 11 for allegedly assaulting Botany department’s fourth year student Morsheda Khanom and other residents who had joined the quota reform movement.
Esha was also expelled from the BCL and the university simultaneously at the wee hours of April 11, after hundreds of students took to DU streets during midnight demanding her expulsion over torturing a student for participating in quota reform movement.
Earlier on April 13, the ruling Awami League’s student wing BCL also reinstated Esha within 48 hours of her expulsion, amid protests against her reported assault on party fellows.
Esha and her accomplices allegedly assaulted Morsheda Khatun, which triggered protests at about 12:30am on April 11. According to the records, Esha also threatened that girls would be kicked out of the dorm if they joined the protests.
On April 11, DU Proctor Golam Rabbani said Esha had been expelled from the university and she said she was sorry for what she did.
Footage that went viral showed Esha wearing a necklace of shoes after apologizing. Some recordings where Esha was using profanity to threaten other students for joining the quota reform protests also went viral.
