Jahangirnagar University (JU) authorities have temporarily expelled a student over alleged links with the Bangladesh Chhatra League, student front of the disgraced Awami League whose activities remain banned, and involvement in its activities.
The decision came in an office order signed by Acting Registrar Dr ABM Azizur Rahman on Sunday.
The expelled student, Md Asadul Alam, is a 2021-22 academic year (51st batch) student of the Institute of Comparative Literature and Culture and a resident of Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Hall.
The university expelled him under Section 4(1)(b) of the Jahangirnagar University Students’ Discipline Ordinance, 2018.
Earlier, university authorities detained Asadul from Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Hall on September 8 over alleged links with the banned organisation and handed him over to Ashulia police.
During questioning, the university’s proctorial team, hall representatives and JUCSU leaders examined his mobile phone and claimed to have found communication records with Chhatra League leaders, activists and ex JUCSU VP Abdur Rashid Zitu.
