DUSU General Secretary candidate S.M. Forhad has alleged that a BNP-leaning staff member was caught stuffing ballot boxes in favor of the full Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) panel at Amar Ekushey Hall.

“We saw the staff openly casting votes for the entire JCD panel and dropping them in the ballot box,” Forhad said. “After we obtained video footage and other evidence, he was relieved from duty.”

Forhad further accused rivals of fabricating cross-mark allegations to cover up this major incident. “If ballots had truly been marked against us, they should have been shown instantly. Instead, he stalled for a minute and checked other ballots—none bore such marks. No earlier voter raised any complaints either. This proves internal involvement—whether from a teacher, student, or official. Whoever it is must be expelled.”

He added, “DUSU is not meant to serve political parties. It is the right of DU students to vote for whomever they choose.”
