JnU expels 8 students indefinitely
The Jagannath University (JnU) authorities yesterday expelled eight students from the university for an indefinite period for their alleged involvement in beating up three teachers and locking them in a room over two hours.
The expelled are Suman and Sahadat of Bangla department, Sanjib and Manik of economics department, Prosanta and Hironmoy of psychology department, and Ataul Gani Emon and SM Zubayer Hossain of Islamic history department.
A three-member probe body headed by JnU Proctor Prof Kamaluddin Ahmed was formed to carry out an investigation into the incident.
Sources said yesterday that the accused students went to the room of Muhammad Mintu Ali Biswas, a teacher of Islamic history and culture, and demanded Tk 10,000 from him.
They also threatened the teacher with blowing the secret news of his "illegal relationship with a female student" if he did not pay them the money, they said.
The sources added that the expelled students locked Biswas in his room when he refused to give the money. The accused also locked in two other teachers of the university over two hours in that room and beat them up as they came to save their colleague, they added.
