Observer Online Report

Students protesting an attempted rape incident involving a female student at Jahangirnagar University (JU) have declared the university's proctorial team 'persona non grata' on campus.

The protesters alleged that the administration not only failed to arrest the accused but also concealed information about the incident, created confusion and deceived students.

The students made the announcement during a press conference held in front of the vice-chancellor's residence following a protest programme at approximately 9:45AM on Saturday.

After the press conference, they broke the locks on two doors of the proctor's office and installed new locks.

Farzana Tabassum, general secretary of the Fazilatunnesa Hall Parliament, in a written statement said that female students presented a six-point demand to the administration on May 13, the day after the attempted rape and attempted murder incident that allegedly took place on campus on May 12.

At the same time, they issued a 48-hour ultimatum demanding the arrest of the accused.
