Leaders of the Chittagong University Central Students' Union (CUCSU) have allegedly manhandled a "pro–Awami League" teacher, dragging him to the proctor’s office.
The incident occurred around 12pm on Saturday while the admission test for first-year undergraduate programmes was under way at the Faculty of Law.
The teacher, Assistant Prof Hasan Mohammad Roman of the university’s Law Department, was on duty as an invigilator at the time. Student leaders from the CUCSU gathered outside the law faculty dean's office after being alerted to his presence and caught hold of the teacher when he attempted to leave the scene.
A video circulating on social media shows the teacher being grabbed and dragged onto a rickshaw, which then headed towards the proctor’s office.
CUCSU Law and Human Rights Secretary Fazle Rabbi alleged that during the July Uprising the teacher, then serving as an assistant proctor, played a role in filing cases against students who were participating in the movement against the Awami League government.
He also alleged that Roman allowed students to abuse drugs at his residence and turned Shah Amanat Hall into a stronghold of the Awami League and its affiliated organisations while acting as the hall tutor.
CUCSU Office Secretary Abdullah Al Noman said the teacher was injured while trying to run away after learning about their presence.
He claimed nobody hit the teacher.
Roman told the Proctor Office that the attackers tried to incite a “mob” on him.
Informed by students and teachers that the situation was deteriorating, the teacher said he started running out of fear and got injured.
He denied his involvement in any action against students during the July Uprising.
“During the July Uprising, I did not step out even for a single day. I was not assigned any responsibilities. I did not participate in any silent marches either. I was not a member of the student expulsion board. While serving as assistant proctor, I did not file any cases against anyone,” he said.
Proctor Hossain Shaid Shohrowardhy said there was no attempt to unleash a “mob” on the teacher.
“He had the fear of being targeted by a mob, for he was a soldier of the fallen government. That’s why he tried to escape,” he said.
He added that the incident could have been avoided if the teacher had shared his fear of being attacked with the administration beforehand.
