Students from Chittagong Mahila Polytechnic Institute (CMPI) yesterday demanded exemplary punishment to Jahirul Islam, hostel super and chief instructor of the institute, for his alleged stalking his students. Over 300 female students also demanded immediate removal of Jahirul from the post of chief instructor at a protest rally after a human chain in front of Chittagong Press Club. At the rally, the students alleged that Jahirul stalks them hurling "erotic and abusive words." They also brought out a procession from CPC premises that paraded the important city roads. They later submitted a memorandum to the deputy commissioner. They alleged that Jahirul is also involved in corruption and he used to snap close shots of them during their physical training. The instructor also threatened not to give their certificate if they demonstrate against him. Meanwhile, acting principal of the institute Abdul Malek told The Daily Star that Jahirul, also the former acting principal of the institute, resigned from the post of hostel supper around 10:00am. He said they are looking into other allegations against Jahirul. Word Councilors Rehena Begum Ranu, Jannatul Ferdous Popy and other rights activists also expressed solidarity at the rally.
