Serious allegations have emerged of large-scale financial irregularities in the market accounts of the Daksu cafeteria adjacent to the Arts Building of Dhaka University. According to an analysis of purchase vouchers, prices of essential items such as rice, chicken, and potatoes were shown significantly higher than actual market rates, with fake vouchers allegedly used to misappropriate large sums of money each month. The cafeteria’s purchases are reportedly handled by a third-class employee, Mahmudullah Sarkar, instead of the designated market buyers.
Verification from several related shops confirmed discrepancies between voucher prices and actual sales. Evidence suggests that some vouchers were prepared outside the shops using their seals, enabling fraudulent withdrawals. Estimates indicate that daily irregularities amount to Tk 2,000–3,000, leading to an annual misappropriation of around Tk 500,000, possibly reaching Tk 1–1.2 million over two years.
Mahmudullah Sarkar denied wrongdoing but later shifted responsibility to cooks. TSC Director Farzana Bashar also denied involvement, blaming cafeteria staff for poor food quality. Daksu cafeteria secretary Umme Salma cited lack of oversight in market management and record-keeping. The Pro-Vice Chancellor (Administration) Saima Haque Bidisha stated that action would be taken against those responsible.
