ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY, Mar 13 (UNB): A general diary (GD) has been filed with Islamic University (IU) police station after the WhatsApp conversation between the university's pro-vice-chancellor Professor M Mahbubur Rahman and its deputy registrar (admin) Chandan Kumar Das went viral on Facebook, a social networking site.
M Shohel Rana, the personal secretary of the pro-vice-chancellor, lodged the GD with the university police station on Monday, IU police station officer-in-charge M Mamunur Rahman said on Wednesday.
According to the case statement, some screenshots of the WhatsApp containing conversation between pro-VC M Mahbubur Rahman and deputy registrar Chandan Kumar Das regarding the recruitment of a gardener in exchange of Tk 0.8 million (8 lakh) went viral from a Facebook account named 'IU Viral News' on Sunday night.
The screenshots were made as a part of conspiracy against the pro-vice-chancellor, the case statement said.
Professor M Mahbubur Rahman told the news agency that the screenshots shared on social networking site were completely 'false' and 'fabricated'. A vested quarter tried to harm his career by spreading the false information, he alleged.
