DU suspends employee over bomb explosions

Aman was a former deputy publicity secretary of the Bangladesh Chhatra League's Shahid Sergeant Zahurul Haque Hall unit and a former vice-president of the organisation's central committee. He was also reportedly a follower of former Chhatra League general secretary Golam Rabbani.

He is currently absconding, according to sources.

The decision to suspend him temporarily was taken at an emergency coordination meeting on Tuesday (November 10), chaired by DU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr ABM Obaidul Islam.

Members of the university's proctorial team and senior law enforcement officials attended the meeting.


Around 35 to 40 university officers and employees reportedly took part in the procession. Aman Ullah Aman was also seen participating, according to reports.

Asked about the rally, DU Registrar Munshi Shams Uddin Ahmed told the media that employees could campaign in connection with professional association elections, but political party rallies were not permitted inside university buildings.

"Just because it was held inside Dhaka University's Registrar Building does not make it acceptable. Such rallies are not permitted inside any government institution's building," he said.


At around 2:20pm on Tuesday, two explosions occurred at separate locations — the shaded area beside the Arts Building and in front of the Faculty of Business Studies (FBS).

A private car driver, identified as Sohel, 36, was seriously injured in the blasts. He was rescued and taken to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

A vehicle parked at the scene was also damaged in the explosions.
