DU student alleges sexual harassment by teacher

A student of Dhaka University has alleged that a teacher of the Mass Communication and Journalism (MCJ) Department sexually harassed her.

In a written complaint to the proctor on Saturday, the victim said Professor Dr Nadir Zunaid would often talk to her indecently and propose a physical relationship.

Earlier on Wednesday, 28 students of a batch of MCJ complained to the vice-chancellor that Prof Nadir Zunaid intentionally gave them lower marks in the examination.

Later, a former student of the department alleged that the teacher asked him to say 'names of five breeds of dog' during Masters viva.
