A Dhaka University student, identified as Ali Hossain, has sparked outrage after threatening Daksu election candidate B.M. Fahmida Alam with gang rape in a Facebook post.
Islami Chhatra Shibir condemned the incident and filed a formal complaint with the university proctor.
Shibir’s Dhaka University president, S.M. Farhad, said, “We immediately urged the administration to act against the accused. This culture of slut-shaming and abusive language against female students must be fought collectively.”
He also alleged that a “syndicate” was spreading propaganda against Shibir on social media. Meanwhile, Ali Hossain denied any political affiliation in a Facebook Live video.
