Fresh allegations have surfaced of harassment against first-year students at the Dr. Kudrat-e-Khuda Hostel of Dhaka University’s Institute of Leather Engineering and Technology. According to victims, senior students forced them to attend late-night guestroom sessions under the pretext of teaching manners, where they were subjected to intimidation, insulting remarks, and coercive behavior. The incidents reportedly took place between 11:30 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. over four consecutive nights, involving members of the 43rd batch, with some seniors denying the accusations.
Victims described the sessions as psychological abuse akin to ragging, including pressure to follow arbitrary rules and endure offensive comments about female classmates. The activities were said to occur mainly in rooms 1003 and 1004, but the latest session was held openly in the dining room with participation from older batches. Some students claimed that individuals linked to a political student group were present.
The hostel’s vice president of the hall council confirmed awareness of the issue and said it would be discussed with university authorities. The hostel warden stated that no formal complaint had yet been received but promised strict action if the allegations were proven.
