Separate show-cause notices were served on seven members of the Bangladesh Chhatra League for vandalism and misbehaving with the acting provost of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall at the Dhaka University. Acting provost Dr Baitullah Kadri issued the notices to Shaheen Ahmed, BCL president of the hall, and six activists of the student organisation. Dr Kadri said the BCL leader misbehaved with him over forcing an employee to leave the hall on Monday night. The hall sources said the provost and the BCL leader engaged into an altercation over sending a student, who fell sick suddenly at the hall, to a hospital on that night. Shaheen also asked an employee to leave the hall as the authorities failed to bring an ambulance. In a sequel of the incident, Shaheen's followers damaged the nameplate of the provost attached to a wall of his office and confined him for around 10 minutes to his room at about 1:00pm yesterday, Dr Kadri told The Daily Star.
