An investigation committee has been formed on Wednesday to look into allegations that Chhatra League leaders and activists attacked on demonstrating Dhaka University (DU) students on Monday.

The university authority has formed the probe committee following the protests of the students on Wednesday demanding the punishment of assailants. 

Proctor AKM Golam Rabbani’s assured them of punishment for those who will be found guilty into the matter.

The students started their agitation programme at 11am confining the university’s proctor at his office and urged the proctor AKM Golam Rabbani to resign from the administrative post.

At that time, they also vandalized panes of the windows of the proctor office. 

Earlier on Monday, the agitating students claimed some BCL activists foiled their rally in front of the VC office. They also assaulted and harassed female students and on-duty campus journalists.

They harassed female students verbally and physically and forced to leave them the place.

On February 23 of last year the seven colleges were made affiliates of DU under the orders of the prime minister and the Ministry of Education.

Admission tests, textbooks and examinations for Dhaka College, Eden Women’s College, Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College, Kabi Nazrul College, Begum Badrunnessa Government Women's College, Mirpur Government Bangla College and Government Titumir College have been organised by Dhaka University.
