Dhaka University Chatra Dal Submits Memorandum Seeking Fair Probe
Chatra Dal has submitted a formal memorandum to the Dhaka University administration demanding a proper investigation into the alleged harassment of a student by the provost of Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall. The incident previously sparked tension following allegations that teachers were subsequently heckled on campus.
On August 17, 2026, the student organization Chatra Dal formally submitted a memorandum to the Dhaka University administration. The document calls for a transparent and comprehensive inquiry into allegations surrounding the provost of Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall, Professor Dr. Ilyas Al Mamun, who has been accused of student harassment.
The controversy intensified after subsequent events involving the alleged heckling of teachers at the university. These escalating tensions prompted intervention from the central university authorities, who faced mounting pressure from student bodies to address the administrative fallout and maintain order on the campus.
In response to the escalating situation and the demands outlined by student representatives, the Dhaka University administration took official administrative action. University authorities established a five-member investigation committee to thoroughly examine the sequence of events and ascertain the facts surrounding both the initial student harassment allegations and the subsequent mistreatment of teachers.
The newly formed five-member committee is tasked with reviewing the grievances detailed in the memorandum submitted by the Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall branch of Chatra Dal, alongside the student hall parliament. The findings of this investigative body are expected to shed light on the campus disputes and guide the university's subsequent disciplinary measures.
