UNB, Dhaka University :

An audio of Eden College unit Chhatra League President Tamanna Jasmine Riva has been leaked where she threatened to drive out several students from the hostel room of the college.

The audio clip spread on social media on Friday night where BCL leader Tamanna was heard threatening other students.

In the audio clip, Tamanna was heard saying, there is no one above the president of this college. So listen to what I say. Otherwise, you will be punished. During that time, she used some slang words with them.

Some students said Tamanna came to their room and threatened them to drive out of the hostel because they had not joined the Chhatra League programme.

One of the students said, ” We did not talk against her (Riva) fearing troubles. But now we raised our voices against her and brought the matter to the attention of the madams.”

When contacted, the BCL leader said, “It is not a big deal. They misbehaved with some of my juniors when they went to their room.
Later, I went to their room to settle the issue and used some slang words.”

However, Tamanna admitted the matter and apologised on her Facebook post where she wrote “I am closely attached with each of the activists of Chhatra League’s Eden College unit. They are nothing but my family members. Though it was in a very personal environment, I admit that it was my fault to use unchecked language from my responsible position. Therefore, I beg for an apology from the organisation.”

Eden College principal Supriya Bhattacharjee said the hall authorities will look after the matter and action will be taken by considering the situation.

When asked about the recording, Razia Hall principal Nargis Ruma declined any comment over the incident.
