Ducsu VP Nur receives death threat

A Dhaka University (DU) student threatened to kill Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu) Vice President (VP) Nurul Haque Nur, and beat one of his companions yesterday around 2.30 pm near the Ducsu cafeteria.

Nur himself made the death threat allegation and submitted a written complaint to the DU proctor saying he feared for his life and sought proper action against the attacker.

Nur identified the attacker as Adnan Ahmed Nabil, a second year student of the university residing at Salimullah Muslim Hall.

According to the complaint, Adnan verbally abused Nur and said he will kill the Ducsu VP if he remains on campus after March 11. Adnan then pushed Nur away and beat his companion Shakil Mia.

Nur also said that Adnan was one of the assailants who attacked 11 Ducsu members including Nur on December 22, 2019, at the Ducsu office.

Confirming the matter, Hasan Al Mamun, convener of Bangladesh General Students' Rights Protection Council central committee, said Adnan is a follower of Dhaka University Chhatra League Assistant General Secretary Md Saddam Hussain.
