A fire broke out at a classroom of Dhaka University's (DU) Urdu Department on Thursday afternoon.
The department's Chairman Prof Dr Md Israfil said that the incident occurred at room no. 3055 of the Arts Faculty around 1:15pm.
The staff of the department managed to extinguish the fire after frantic efforts.
"Furniture and a computer in the classroom were gutted during the fire," he added.
Dr Israfil suspected that a section of the hartal supporters might have sabotaged the incident.
"A three-member probe committee has been formed in this regard and the investigation committee was asked to submit report by three working days," he informed.
