DU student accuses BCL activist of slapping him

Dhaka University's Sir A F Rahman Hall authorities ordered an investigation after a resident student alleged that he had been badly slapped by another student of the hall, reports UNB.

Molla Taimur Rahman, student of Peace and Conflict department of 2020-21 session, lodged an allegation to the hall provost against Rokonuzzaman Rokon, a second year student of Political Science department and also resident of AF Rahman hall. He is an activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League.

In the written complaint Molla Taimur alleged that the slap was so severe that he lost his hearing ability for a few hours.

Rokan allegedly confronted him as he was seen talking to a senior at Haji Muhammad Mohsin playground on February 15.

"He later threatened to kick me out of the hall and kill me if I informed the hall administration," Rokan told me.

Molla said he got scared and left the hall and took shelter at his brother's house.

Asked about the allegation, AF Rahman hall provost Prof Saiful Khan said, "We have got a written allegation today and a two-member investigation team has been formed to find out the fact."

The committee comprising DU teachers Farooq Shah and Dr Mumit Al Rashid has been asked to the report in two days.

The AF Rahman hall committee of BCL said it will cooperate with the probe.
