Serious allegations of mental and physical abuse have emerged at Dhaka University’s Dr. Kudrat-e-Khuda Hall, where first-year students of the Institute of Leather Engineering and Technology were reportedly subjected to late-night ‘guestroom’ sessions under the pretext of teaching manners. Victims said they were forced to sit for hours, verbally abused, and intimidated by senior students. The incidents allegedly took place over four consecutive nights, involving members of the 43rd batch and some linked to the student group Chhatra Dal.
According to the victims, the sessions were held mainly in rooms 1003 and 1004, and on one occasion in the hostel dining room. They described the activities as psychological torture and ragging, including offensive remarks about female classmates and forced displays of respect. One accused student denied any knowledge of the events, while another admitted to a “familiarization meeting” but rejected the torture claims.
The hall’s vice president said the matter would be discussed with university authorities, and the hostel warden stated that no formal complaint had yet been received but promised strict action if the allegations were proven.
