Faced with student protests, BUET has permanently expelled two of the
three students who assaulted another injuring him grievously.
On Sunday the authorities had expelled the three for six months, but students protested throughout the night demanding their permanent expulsion.
In a meeting on Monday afternoon, the board of residence and disciplinary committee decided to expel assaulters Saifullah Sikder Mithun and Sujit Saha of metallurgy 2008 batch.
BUET pro-vice chancellor Habibur Rahman told reporters about the duo's permanent expulsion order after the meeting on Monday.
The third student, Arif Raihan Dip of mechanical engineering 2009 batch, is expelled for six months following Sunday's order which was first given. All three were members of Chhatra League, ruling Awami League's student wing.
A four-strong committee to look into the matter was also formed on Sunday and submitted its findings earlier on Monday. The disciplinary committee gave the new decision upon the probe report.
Following a dispute on Dec 28 between the senior and junior batches over entering a concert organised for the rag day of the outgoing batch, Sujit, Mithun and Dip on Dec 31, beat Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department final year student Tousif Ahmed Ishan with hockey stick and iron rod in his room in the Kazi Nazrul Islam Hall to take revenge.
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.
According to rules, expelled students can apply to the academic council within 15 days to reconsider their expulsion order.
One of the protesters, CSE department student Nur-e-Bahar Yasha told reporters, "Though we have agreed with the authority's decision, we are hoping that even if they apply, their punishment won't be reduced."
Meanwhile, when asked whether organisational actions would be taken against the three, BUET unit Chhatra League general secretary Tonmoy Ahmed on Monday told : "It was their personal matter. The organisation will not take responsibility for their own actions."
Meanwhile, extra police have been deployed on the university campus and the hall premises to avoid any untoward incident following the current situation.
The students of the university, who have been surrounding the offices of vice chancellor and pro-vice chancellor for the last two days, demanding their expulsion and protesting the incident, have returned to their dormitories and home after hearing the authority's decision around 9pm.
