A student of Jagannath University (JnU) has written to the university's chancellor, President Mohammed Shahabuddin, accusing two teachers of sexual harassment and unfair assessment of an examination, reports bdnews24.com.
Kazi Farjana Mim, a student of the university's film and television department, submitted her written application at the Bangabhaban on Tuesday, seeking 'exemplary justice for bullying and sexual harassment' over the incident.
Although no official announcements have been made from the Bangabhaban in this regard, Mim took a photograph standing in front of the president's official residence, holding a 'received copy' of her application.
The official seal and signature of the deputy commissioner of Bangabhaban's Security Department were also visible on the photograph.
While speaking on the issue, the additional deputy commissioner of Bangabhaban's Security Department, Sachin Bhowmik, told bdnews24.com that the application had been sent to the concerned parties following due process.
According to the application, Mim petitioned the vice-chancellor of the university, seeking justice over a case of sexual harassment in December 2021. However, no action was taken following the incident, and she alleges the accused teachers deliberately failed her in multiple subjects of her honours exam.
