A report by Amar Desh on May 9, 2026, reveals that 361 students of Dhaka University were subjected to torture by members of the banned Chhatra League between 2009 and 2023. Victims include Monir Uddin, a student of the Arabic Department, and Ehsan Rafiq, a student of Disaster Science, both of whom suffered severe physical and psychological harm. The incidents occurred in various halls, often in so-called 'guest rooms' or 'torture cells,' with victims later handed over to police instead of being hospitalized.

Data compiled from organizations such as the Justice Foundation, Campus Nipeeron-Protirodh Shomaj, and Students Against Torture (SAT) indicate that over 2,000 Chhatra League leaders were involved in these acts. Despite repeated appeals, most victims have not received justice, and many perpetrators reportedly hold government or administrative positions. University authorities and law enforcement agencies have been accused of negligence and reluctance to register cases.

Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Professor A.B.M. Obaidul Islam stated that the administration is aware of past abuses and will take humanitarian steps to help affected students complete their education.
