Hassan Sohag, Joint Convener of Chhatra Dal’s Comilla University unit, has been accused of assaulting a newly appointed university staff member on his very first day. The victim joined as an office assistant on July 3 and was reportedly slapped by Sohag that same evening. Sohag admitted to slapping him in anger for not answering phone calls. Allegations suggest the incident was tied to dissatisfaction over recruitment decisions, despite monetary dealings. Though Sohag is no longer a student, he is reportedly involved in lobbying and recruitment irregularities. Chhatra Dal has promised disciplinary and legal action if the claims are verified.
