CU teacher seeks security amid threats
CU Correspondent :
Maidul Islam, an assistant professor of sociology at Chittagong University (CU) sought security from the university administration after receiving threats on Sunday night from some unknown miscreants.
The teacher lodged a written complaint to the proctor’s office yesterday seeking security.
In the written complaint, Maidul claimed around 10-15 youths took position in front of his apartment, situated just opposite Deshnetri Begum Khaleda Zia hall at around 7:50pm on Sunday night.
They shouted his name and told him to come downstairs.
“They also hurled abuses and threatened to harm me,” said Maidul, adding that the group left the spot after 10 minutes.
Later, the group came to his apartment again at 9:30pm, kicked his door several times and took position on the rooftop, he added.
They left the spot after 30 minutes, he said, adding that his family was panicking, and they felt unsafe after the incident.
Maidul alleged that he tried to inform the matter to CU Proctor Ali Asgar Chowdhury but he did not pick up the phone.
CU Proctor Ali Asgar Chowdhury said he could not pick up the calls as he was at the mosque during the incident.
“Once we found out, we sent proctorial body members but they did not find any proof of the incident,” he said, adding that Maidul’s neighbours could not say anything about the incident when asked.
“But as an allegation arose, we are looking into the incident,” he added.
Vice-chancellor of CU has given a verbal order to form a three-member investigation committee in this regard.
Mentionable, Maidul has received such threats several times earlier.
