The Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET)
authorities have expelled three students for six months for beating
another.
General students of the university, however, have blocked the offices of the vice chancellor and pro-vice chancellor demanding permanent expulsion of the three for beating Tousif Ahmed Ishan, a final-year student of the Computer Science and Engineering Department.
At 10pm Sunday the students were still protesting which they started from Saturday afternoon following the beating.
They have also threatened to block the offices of vice chancellor and pro-vice chancellor until the three are rusticated.
The expelled students are 2008 batch students Saifullah Sikder Mithun and Sujit Saha of the Material and Metallurgical Department and 2009 batch student Arif Raihan Dip of the Mechanical Engineering Department.
Electrical and Electric Engineering Department final year student Samiul Haque told that a dispute took place on Dec 28 between the senior and junior batches over entering a concert organised for the rag day of the outgoing batch.
Following the incident, Sujit, Mithun and Dip on Saturday beat Ishan with hockey stick and iron rod in his room in the Kazi Nazrul Islam Hall.
Ishan is currently undergoing treatment at the capital's Square Hospital with severe injuries in his both hands and legs. BUET authorities have already announced to bear the expenses of his treatment.
Pro-vice chancellor Prof Habibur Rahman told : "The university authorities at an emergency meeting, decided to initially expel the three for six months after getting the proof of allegations against them."
"A four-strong committee to look into the matter was also formed at Sunday's meeting. The committee was told to submit its findings by 9am Monday. After that, the residence and disciplinary committee meeting will ensure punishment as per rules," he said.
Meanwhile, police personnel have been deputed on the university campus and the hall premises to avoid any untoward incident.
