This was the third such threat to the Proctor in about a week, he said.

Two threats were given over cell phone last weak and I informed the VC about it", he said. He however declined to speculate who the caller might be and whether all the threats were by the same person.

Sources in Jahangirnagar University Teachers Association (JUTA) when contacted said they are concerned at the repeated threats to the Proctor. The JUTA will launch agitation for authorities' steps to stop such incidents and to identify the culprits.
