The Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal has suspended Md. Maidul Islam Bappy, senior vice president of its Begum Rokeya University (BRU) unit, following allegations that he abused his wife for dowry and money for drugs. The decision was announced on Tuesday through a press release signed by the organization’s office secretary, Md. Jahangir Alam. The statement said the suspension was made under the central committee’s directive for violating organizational discipline, and further organizational action is under process.

The allegations surfaced on Monday when Bappy’s wife accused him of physical and mental abuse, dowry demands, and death threats. She reportedly submitted written complaints to the university administration and central Chhatra Dal leaders, claiming repeated demands for money since their marriage and threats when she refused. The issue sparked widespread discussion on the university campus.

Following the public allegations, the central Chhatra Dal took the matter into consideration and decided to suspend Bappy’s organizational position pending further investigation.
