Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) and the Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) have come into confrontation over allegations of extortion, vandalism, and eviction involving small and mobile shops on the Dhaka University campus. DUCSU presented video and audio evidence at a press conference held at Madhur Canteen, accusing several JCD leaders of demanding daily payments from shop owners. In response, JCD dismissed the allegations as false and politically motivated, submitting a written complaint to the university proctor and warning of legal action against the accusers.

Following the dispute, the university administration formed a four-member investigation committee headed by Assistant Proctor Dr. Md. Miraj Kobad Chowdhury. The committee was instructed to submit its report promptly. DUCSU representatives said the evidence was gathered after inconsistencies were found between the statements of shop owners and the accused. JCD leaders countered that the circulated video was edited and called for legal measures if any of their members were proven guilty.

JCD also demanded a clear policy for managing small and mobile shops on campus and disciplinary action against any DUCSU representatives or officials found involved after investigation.
