On the very first day of campaigning for the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Daksu) elections, two banners of the Shibir-backed United Student Alliance were vandalized at the Faculty of Fine Arts on Tuesday.
Photos of the incident spread on Facebook, and on-site visits confirmed the damage. One broken banner was found around 2:19 pm, while another was discovered destroyed later at 3 pm by Assistant Proctor Israfil Prang. CCTV footage shows two unidentified students vandalizing the banners.
Alliance leader SM Forhad condemned the incident as “deeply regrettable” and urged the Election Commission to investigate and take action. The proctor’s office confirmed an investigation is underway.
