Dhaka University Vice-President candidate Umama Fatema has apologized for violating dormitory rules by entering Rokeya Hall late at night, an incident that sparked controversy among students. In a statement, Umama clarified that she had already met the hall provost and submitted an application. “Since I entered the hall in violation of rules, I apologized to the authorities,” she said. She denied allegations of conducting political campaigning inside the hall, explaining that she had only visited a friend for “mental relief” before the gates closed at 10 PM. Claims that she entered at 1:30 AM were “baseless and intentional,” she asserted. Umama accused rivals of harassment because she is running as an independent candidate. “Visiting friends across halls is a common practice, not a criminal offense,” she argued, adding that if elected, she would ensure students could move freely between halls without stigma.
