Instead of taking action against accused people, the hall authorities of Begum Badrunnessa Government Girls' College have issued a warning notice against a victim student as the torture incident of the student in the hall was published in the media before informing them.
The authorities issued the notice to the victim student Laiju Akhter on Sunday.
The letter signed by the college's Hall Super Prof Nazmun Nahar said that the incident was directly communicated to the media without informing the authorities and it is being warned for the future.
If the incident repeats, disciplinary action will be taken against her, reads the notice.
When asked about the notice, Hostel Super Nazmun Nahar said: "It is the decision of the probe committee. If the journalists have a headache, Let them come and judge."
Amid controversy surrounding the torture of a female student at the hands of Chhatra League leaders at Islamic University (IU) in Kushtia, another allegation was made against a leader of the organization of forcefully occupying a room and ragging at Begum Badrunnessa Government Girls' College in Old Dhaka on March 4.
The incident took place in room No 2007 on that day. The general secretary of the college unit of Chhatra League, Habiba Akhter Symoon, wanted to evict a student from that room. The goal was to allow another girl who was loyal to her to occupy that room.
However, when the girls in that room protested, she got angry and vandalized their belongings.
Laiju Akhter claimed that Symoon was trying to vacate their room unfairly. Her followers were still in the room and trashing their belongings.
Earlier, Fulpori Khatun, a first-year student at Islamic University (IU), was tortured and humiliated by IU Chhatra League Vice President Shanjida Chowdhury Ontora and her cohorts at Deshratno Sheikh Hasina Hall on February 12.
The Chhatra League expelled the five from the organization, and the university also suspended them.
Meanwhile, when there was an uproar across the country over that incident, Chhatra League, the student wing of the ruling Awami League, announced an “Awareness Campaign Against Ragging and Sexual Harassment on Campus” program.
