The founding chairman of the university's Criminology Department passes away in hospital care after suffering a heart attack
The university announced the decision on Thursday evening after days of protests by the students who alleged Shariful has been acting as pro-VC and treasurer and holding three other offices of the university as well.
The protesters’ demands also included cancellation of the administrative decisions taken by Shariful.
