The authorities of Dhaka University (DU) on Wednesday withdrew the expulsion order against Chhatra League Kabi Sufia Kamal Hall unit President Iffat Jahan Isha, who allegedly assaulted the Botany department’s fourth year student Morsheda Khanom and other residents who had joined the quota reform movement.
The decision was made at a disciplinary board meeting headed by DU Vice-Chancellor Akhtaruzzaman, confirmed DU Proctor Golam Rabbani.
The previous decision was revoked as the allegation against Isha was proved wrong by the investigative body of the university and the Detective Branch of police, added Rabbani.
The disciplinary board also slapped a show caused notice against 26 resident students of Kabi Sufia Kamal Hall who were identified as among those involved in creating chaos and spreading rumors on the night of April 11 at the dormitory of the university, said DU VC Akhtaruzzaman.
Earlier on April 13, the ruling Awami League's student wing Bangladesh Chhatra League reinstated Kabi Sufia Kamal Hall unit President Iffat Jahan Esha within 48 hours of her expulsion, amid protests against her reported assault on party fellows.
Iffat and her posse allegedly assaulted Morsheda Khatun, which triggered protests at about 12:30am on April 11.
According to the records, Isha also threatened that girls would be kicked out of the dorm if they joined the protests.
On April 11, DU Proctor Golam Rabbani said Isha had been expelled from the university and she said she was sorry for what she did.
Footage that went viral showed Isha wearing a necklace of shoes after apologizing.
Some recordings where Isha was using profanity to threaten other students for joining the qota reform protests also went viral.
