Dhaka University has formed a five-member investigation committee to examine allegations of plagiarism against Dr. Md. Ridwanul Haque, a professor at the Institute of Business Administration (IBA). The committee, established on Tuesday by Vice-Chancellor Professor A. B. M. Obaidul Islam, has been instructed to submit its report within 30 working days. Members include the deans of the Law and Science faculties, the university proctor, the principal of Dhaka Medical College, and a representative nominated by the accused professor.
According to university sources, the allegations date back to 2018, when two of Dr. Haque’s research papers submitted for promotion were found to be nearly identical. The issue resurfaced after the teachers’ group “Sada Dal” submitted a memorandum last year urging a full investigation. The current administration acted following recommendations from the Business Faculty dean and the university’s legal adviser.
The report notes that Dr. Haque has faced previous allegations involving political ties, administrative privileges, and unauthorized foreign travel. Discussions are ongoing about his possible appointment to key national positions, prompting discontent among some faculty members. The university administration stated that further action will depend on the committee’s findings.
