Sultan Ahmed Rahi, president of the newly formed committee of Rabi Chhatra Dal, accused the Vice Chancellor of Rabi University of betraying the blood and trust of ordinary students. Speaking at a brief pre-march rally, Rahi questioned whether the VC has been using certain so-called student leaders within the administration to embezzle hundreds of crores of taka from various banks and government institutions under the guise of extortion. He said students are asking how much commission the VC has taken to recommend extortion fees, and if these allegations are true, he called for tearing the VC’s chair and throwing it into the Padma River as a symbolic act. Rahi further demanded the VC clarify whether he is committed to ensuring a fair academic environment for students or merely increasing the bank balances of these so-called student leaders. He warned the university administration that if they think they can manipulate the RAKSU (Rabi University Students Union) election through staged tactics and seize control like a "Ruar" (local gangster), they are mistaken. He assured that neither the Chhatra Dal nor the general students will allow such farcical elections to take place.
