A Rajshahi University professor has filed a general diary after receiving an anonymous death threat.
Hasibul Alam Pradhan, a professor of law who recently authored the book “Bangabandhu Muktijuddho Bangladesh”, filed the general diary with Motihar police station on Monday seeking security.
In the diary, he mentioned that someone called him at his home number on the night of January 24 but his housemaid received the call as he was outside the country at the time.
The caller told the house help that he would find Professor Hasibul and kill him even if the teacher was hiding underground.
Hasibul said he had received threatening phone calls a number of times in the past.
“My family members and I were abroad from January 18 to 30 for travel purposes. This is why I could not file the general diary earlier,” he said.
Motihar police station Officer-in-Charge (investigation) Ashok Chauhan said an investigation had been initiated based on the general diary.
“Police will provide him with adequate security,” he added.
Hasibul was an advisory member of the previous committee of Awami League's Rajshahi city unit.
