The university's syndicate took the decision during a meeting on Wednesday, Vice Chancellor Prof Farid Uddin Ahmed said on Thursday.

To investigate the claim, a five-member probe committee was formed, led by Prof Dr Md Khairul Islam.
Apan Mia, Md Al Amin, Md Papan Mia, Md Riaz Hossain and Md Ashiq Hossain were the students who were first suspended. They are all first-year business administration students enrolled in the second semester.
