The interim government on Wednesday established a probe commission to investigate incidents of abuse and ragging in the residential halls of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet).
According to a circular issued by the Cabinet Division, the commission will also provide recommendations to prevent ragging and abuse in Buet's residential halls as well as other higher educational institutions across the country.
Md Miftah Uddin Choudhury, a former judge, will coordinate the commission, as said in the circular signed by Sheikh Abdur Rashid, cabinet secretary.
On October 6, 2019, Abrar Fahad, a second-year EEE student at Buet, was murdered in Buet's Sher-e-Bangla Hall by Chhatra League activists.
Following the incident, the authorities of Buet categorized offences, along with punishments, for students found involved in ragging and political activities in the university.
