Demand for more security BUET students boycott classes

DHAKA: Students of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) boycotted classes Saturday demanding adequate security on campus following an attack on a fellow student.

Students said they were suffering from a lack of security in residential halls, even on campus.

They demanded investigation into the incident of attack on a fellow student Raihan Dip and punishment of those involved in the attack.

BUET VC Professor ASM Nazrul Islam told banglanews, “We will sit in a meeting in this regard and action will be taken against persons who attacked Dip.”

Besides, agitated students also brought out protest procession and formed human chain on campus with the same demand.

On April 9, miscreants attacked Raihan Dip in his room of Hall and chopped him severely.
