Jahangirnagar University has expelled five of its students, including the main accused, Chhatra League leader Mostafizur Rahman, for their alleged involvement in the gang rape on campus last month.
The university authority took the decision on Sunday night through a syndicate meeting headed by its vice chancellor, Md. NurulAlam.
About the syndicate decision, the university registrar, Abu Hasan, said that the certificates of the two accused, including Mostafizur Rahman, who was also a student of the 45th batch of the Department of International Relations, and his cohort, Murad Hussain, were canceled.
The expelled students are 46 batch students of the International Relations Department, Mustafa Manowar Siddiqui Sagar, 44 batch student Shah Paran, 45 batch student Md. Hasanuzzaman, and Sabbir Hasan Sagar, a student of the 47th batch of the Botany department.
