BCL men foil exam at CU

A 2nd year finals exam of Chittagong University's fine arts institute was postponed yesterday after two exam rooms were locked allegedly by some 30 Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists demanding that a suspended fellow be allowed to sit.

Mofazzal Haydar Mofa was suspended for one year on December 1, 2015 for his involvement in a BCL factional clash on November 2, 2015, said a teacher of the institute, Pranab Mittra.

"Mofa and his fellows locked rooms 203 and 206," said Pranab, also an assistant proctor, adding that a written complaint would be filed with the proctor's office.

Mohammad Alamgir Tipu, president of the CU unit BCL, which has been dissolved recently, admitted that Mofazzal and his fellows had indeed locked the rooms. Mofazzal could not be contacted for comment.
