A scuffle broke out between students and faculty at Rajshahi University on Saturday afternoon over the “pet quota” issue, leaving several injured including former coordinator Salahuddin Ammar and Al Shahriar Shuvo, general secretary of the Student Rights Council (RU branch).
Students reportedly besieged the residences of the university’s two pro-vice-chancellors, locking the gates. Unable to enter one residence at midday, pro-vice-chancellor Prof. Main Uddin and proctor Mahbubur Rahman returned. As they moved toward Zuberi Hall, students followed, chanting slogans. A faculty member and a printing-press official tried to restrain the students on the Zuberi Hall verandah, and a physical confrontation began.
Pro-vice-chancellor Main was later confined on the second-floor verandah of Zuberi Hall by students. University officials said around 10 staff members — including the pro-vice-chancellor, the registrar, the proctor and the public relations administrator — were temporarily surrounded. Several students and activists sustained injuries in the clashes.
