The General Secretary of Chittagong University Central Students’ Union (ChakSU), Saeed Bin Habib, has alleged that national newspapers Prothom Alo and Samakal published biased reports regarding the detention of Hasan Mohammad Roman Shuvo, a teacher from the university’s law department. Speaking at a press conference at the ChakSU office on Monday, Habib said the incident was misrepresented as mob harassment, though video footage showed no physical abuse or violence. He stated that ChakSU leaders handed Shuvo over to the administration after he attempted to flee when questioned about allegations against him.

Habib further claimed that ChakSU leaders, particularly female members, have been facing organized cyberbullying and death threats through social media, including the use of obscene and misogynistic language. He described the attacks as part of a coordinated campaign of defamation and intimidation. Addressing recent recruitment issues at the university, Habib urged the administration to disclose all relevant information under the Right to Information Act, 2009, to strengthen trust between students and the administration.

ChakSU believes that transparency in recruitment processes will help resolve ongoing disputes and restore confidence within the university community.
