The authorities of Dhaka University are still in the dark about those who vandalised the office of the Dhaka University Teachers’ Association at the Dhaka University club on Friday evening.
An employee from the Dhaka University club on condition of anonymity told ¶¶Òõ¾«Æ· that a group of unidentified people carried out the act of vandalism at about at 8:30pm on Friday.
Upon visiting the site on Saturday afternoon, it was seen that furniture, flowers, and other small items remained scattered and disorganised.
Asked about the incident, DUTA president professor Nizamul Haque Bhuiyan said that several unidentified people vandalised their office and took away office files.
‘In the history of the Dhaka University Teachers’ Association, such an incident has never occurred. There have been many protests, but we’ve never faced such an issue here.’
Dhaka University’s vice-chancellor, professor Niaz Ahmed Khan, on Saturday afternoon visited the site along with the university proctor, Saifuddin Ahmed Khan, and several others.
Following the visit, the vice-chancellor said, ‘As soon as the DUTA leaders informed us, we deployed the proctorial team. I want to tell the students that although their grievances may be valid, those grievances should not be expressed in an uncontrolled manner.’
The proctor said, ‘After reviewing CCTV footage, the DUTA members will provide us with evidence and details of those involved.’
