Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. ABM Obaidul Islam has announced that those found guilty in the recent assault on journalists at the university will be expelled under institutional regulations. He made the statement on Friday while receiving a complaint letter from the Dhaka University Journalists’ Association at the Abdul Matin Virtual Classroom near his office. The vice-chancellor expressed regret over the incident, noting that journalists were performing their professional duties and that the matter is being treated seriously.
He confirmed that two separate investigation committees have been formed—one to examine Facebook-related messages and another to probe the physical assault on journalists and others. The university will take further action based on the committees’ reports. The journalists’ association submitted a list of 12 accused individuals, including their departmental and residential details, and demanded their immediate expulsion.
The association also called for permanent expulsion after investigation, cancellation of certificates of former students involved, and identification of any additional perpetrators. The attack, which occurred while journalists were on duty near Shahbagh Police Station, has sparked strong reactions across the national media community.
