Detectives are investigating the incident that occurred in Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), said Harun or Rashid, Chief of Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police on Sunday (31 March).
The DB chief came up with the information while talking to reporters on the BUET issue at his office in the capital.
Asked about whether the Islami Chhatra Shibir is behind instigating the movement of the students, Harun, also the Additional Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police said “We are observing the situation and next steps will be taken after investigation.”
The students of Buet have been staging demonstrations since Saturday against the alleged activities of Bangladesh Chhatra League activists on the campus where student politics is prohibited.
On March 28, BCL president Saddam Hussain along with other leaders and activists entered Buet campus when Imtiaz Rahim Rabbi, an executive member of BCL central panel, was present and allegedly played a vital role in facilitating the entry by the BCL men.
Amid protests of general students, Buet authorities cancelled the hall allocation of Imtiaz Rahim Rabbi, a student of 21st batch of Civil Engineering department and also a member of BCL central panel, but no decision was taken about his expulsion as per the demand of the students.
On October 11, 2019, Buet authorities banned student politics after Abrar Fahad, a second-year student of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, was beaten to death by a group of Chhatra League (BCL) activists at the university's Sher-e-Bangla Hall in the early hours of October 7.
