A case was lodged monday with a Chittagong court against the principal of Islamia University College in the port city charged with corruption.
Md Asif Alvi, a BSS second year student and a member of the college’s Chhatra-Chhatri Sangram Parishad, lodged the case before the court of Chittagong Session Judge SM Mujibur Rahman accusing the principal Md Rezaul Kabir, court sources said.
According to court sources, the court took the case into cognisance and ordered Md Moniruzzaman, Deputy Commissioner of the Detective Branch of Chittagong Metropolitan Police, to investigate the issue and submit a report by September 15.
Alvi, plaintiff of the case, said the principal embezzled massive amounts of money in the last 23 years, since 1990. “He illegally takes an amount from students every year and he misappropriated a huge amount of money during the construction of the college building,” he added.
Placing various allegations against Rezaul, students of the college under the banner of Chhatra-Chhatri Sangram Parishad, allegedly supported by Bangladesh Chhatra League, had been staging demonstrations since last month demanding his resignation, college sources said. However, the principal was previously assaulted several times by agitated students while BCL men assaulted him at the Teachers’ Council meeting recently. After the incident, the principal lodged a case with a Chittagong court on August 7 against some BCL men and general students of the college.
