Dhaka University has come under fire after issuing accreditation cards for journalists covering the Daksu elections riddled with errors in names, designations, and institutions.

Examples include Sheikh Nasir Uddin of Daily Sun, whose name appeared as “Sheikh Nasir Uddir” and designation “Stff Correspondent” instead of “Staff Correspondent.” Similarly, Azharuzzaman of Ekhon TV was labeled as “Sir Reporter” instead of “Staff Reporter.”

The mistakes, signed off by the Chief Returning Officer, sparked outrage among journalists and drew widespread criticism on social media.

Chief Returning Officer Dr. Mohammad Jasim Uddin acknowledged the issue, explaining that over 1,200 applications were processed by lower-level staff, leading to errors. He assured corrections would be made upon request and promised measures to prevent future lapses.
