A Dhaka University investigation committee has reported that most of the 12 individuals accused in the April 23 journalist assault case have not responded to official notices. Only one accused has appeared to provide an explanation, while others have avoided responding. The committee, formed immediately after the incident, was initially given three working days to submit its report but later received a seven-day extension, set to expire on Thursday.
Committee convener and Assistant Proctor Professor Mahbub Kayser stated that the investigation will continue regardless of the accused’s cooperation and that the report will be submitted within the university’s deadline. He noted that while there are some limitations, no major obstacles have been encountered so far. Dhaka University Proctor Professor Saifuddin Ahmed confirmed that the committee is working independently and that further action will follow once the report is submitted.
The assault occurred when journalists were attacked while covering unrest near Shahbagh Police Station, leaving around ten university journalists injured. The lack of response from the accused is reportedly complicating the investigation process.
