Students at Jahangirnagar University have intensified protests following an alleged attempted rape of a female student on May 12. After a 48-hour ultimatum expired, female students declared the proctorial body unwelcome, broke the lock of the proctor’s office, and installed a new one. Protesters held a sit-in in front of the vice-chancellor’s residence from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Friday, reiterating their six-point demand for the arrest of the accused and accountability from the administration.
Students accused the administration of concealing key information and spreading misleading images. They criticized the vice-chancellor for praising the proctor despite previous controversies. Following a heated exchange between the vice-chancellor, Professor Mohammad Kamrul Ahsan, and protesters, the students announced that all administrative activities would be halted from the next day until the proctor resigns and the accused is punished.
The vice-chancellor stated that police are making progress and that any action must follow an investigation involving both parties. He urged students to allow time for the inquiry and said the issue of incorrect images would also be reviewed by the investigation committee.
