Prof Nimchandra sent to jail

Dhaka University Professor Nimchandra Bhowmik was sent to jail after he surrendered to court Tuesday as he has been facing an arrest order in connection with the August rioting on the campus. Bhowmik, provost of Jagannath Hall, is the second to turn himself to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court for Dhaka after Prof Sadrul Amin, who is in jail. The police charged four DU teachers with having roles in the campus violence: Anwar Hossain, Harun-or-Rashid, Sadrul Amin and Nimchandra Bhowmik. Security officials had arrested Prof Anwar and Prof Rashid earlier on charges of breaching the emergency powers rules.
