The university administration met with stakeholders on Sunday morning at the Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Building for final discussions regarding the schedule for Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu) elections. The information was disclosed during the meeting.
Additionally, legal proceedings are underway against over 300 more Chhatra League leaders and activists of the university in connection with two cases filed at Shahbag police station.
The meeting revealed that 128 individuals have been suspended so far based on investigations conducted by a fact-finding committee formed by the university administration.
