Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) authorities have canceled the dormitory seat of a student accused of physically and verbally harassing another resident. The decision was announced on Monday, May 4, through a notice signed by Professor Dr. Ismat Ara, provost of Fatema-tuz-Zahra Hall. The accused, Razia Parvin, a final-year master's student in the Department of Social Work, was residing in room 107, while the complainant, Nosheen Tabassum Niha, lived in room 104.

According to hall sources, several students had previously reported similar incidents involving Razia Parvin. In response, 80 students submitted a signed petition to the hall provost demanding a proper investigation. A meeting was held on May 4 with hall residents, during which both sides presented their statements. Based on the investigation and available evidence, the hall authorities decided to cancel Razia Parvin’s seat.

Assistant Provost Husne Ara Chowdhury confirmed that the decision followed a thorough review of testimonies and evidence collected from all parties involved.
