DU Correspondent
The Disciplinary Board of Dhaka University (DU) yesterday recommended the expulsion of a first year student of management for two years for his involvement in assaulting a leader of Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA).Abul Kalam Azad, also an activist of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), along with Mehedi Hasan, a masters student of public administration, assaulted the BMA acting president Dr Azizul Haque at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on September 16. The recommendation was made at a meeting of the board with Vice- chancellor Prof S M A Faiz in the chair. It will now be placed before the syndicate. The meeting also fined Hasan Tk 100 and warned him for being with Azad during the incident. The board also discussed about the rumour of recovering a video-camera from Rokeya Hall last month and recommended issuance of show cause notice to university correspondents who filed the report, sources added. The VC told The Daily Star that the show cause notice will be issued to the correspondents through the office of the proctor soon. The meeting also recommended for filing defamation cases against the newspapers that published the false news. The board, however, could not discuss about the September 11 campus violence at the meeting. The VC said the committee will sit on September 27 to discuss the issue and take punitive action against the accused persons. The probe committee, headed by university Pro-VC Prof AFM Yusuf Haider, submitted the report accusing eight student leaders.
