An assistant registrar of Khulna University’s Business Administration Discipline, Yusuf Raihan, has been accused of embezzling around Tk 1.8 million by forging the signatures of the discipline head and course coordinator. The alleged fraud involved funds from the Executive MBA (EMBA) program, including semester and examination fees. The incident came to light on May 11 when students discovered irregularities during semester registration checks. Raihan has reportedly gone into hiding since the allegations surfaced.

Professor Dr. Md. Nur Alam, head of the discipline, confirmed that the assistant registrar withdrew money from the bank using forged signatures. He said two investigation committees were formed to probe the matter, and their reports are expected to be submitted to the university administration soon for legal and administrative action. Course coordinator Professor S. M. Zahidur Rahman also stated that the funds were withdrawn through check forgery.

Students expressed frustration, saying they had regularly paid fees through Raihan and were unaware of the misappropriation until the registration discrepancies appeared.
