The Jagannath University authorities yesterday expelled for life Chhatra League leader Md Araz Miah for assaulting a female teacher on April 26.
Araz, an assistant secretary of JnU unit Chhatra League, ruling party’s student wing, and a student of Islamic history and culture, was caught and handed over to police by the university authorities after he assaulted the teacher in public. But he was later released from police custody.
The victim, a lecturer of public administration department of the university, said the student was walking before her and attempting to bar her intentionally. As she asked for reason, he hurled abuse, pulled her clothing and at one stage slapped her. The teacher then slapped the student and dragged him to the proctor’s office. Araz was suspended immediately while the authorities formed a probe body.
She also filed a case with Kotwali police.
