The Rajshahi University Central Students' Union (RUCSU) on Tuesday accused the university administration of failing to act promptly over an alleged death threat against a female student and a subsequent attack on the RUCSU office, placing a six-point demand that includes legal and disciplinary action against those responsible, reports UNB.
At a press conference held at the RUCSU office in the evening, Vice-President Mostakur Rahman Jahid alleged that a first-year student of the Department of Sanskrit was threatened by a senior student after rejecting his marriage proposal.
According to the written statement, the student alleged that on July 26, a 2021-22 session student of the same department, identified as Muhsin, threatened her with a knife and said he would throw her into the Padma River after she rejected his proposal. He also allegedly claimed to possess a pistol.
Following the complaint, the university's proctorial body summoned both parties that night.
RUCSU alleged that a man named Anas, who introduced himself as the accused student's guardian, disrupted the inquiry and behaved rudely with the proctor before being asked to leave.
