Expulsion of 2 JU JCD cadres demanded

Protesting the attack on two students, the students gave a 24-hour ultimatum to the vice-chancellor on Sunday night.

But the fresh deadline came after Vice-Chancellor Prof. Jasim Uddin Ahmad sought more time at a meeting with about 50 master's students from different departments at the VC's office at around 12:00 noon yesterday.

The students threatened to enforce a tougher agitation if the authorities do not take stern action against the attackers within three days.

In a statement yesterday, the Samajtantrik Chhatra Front (SCF) also strongly condemned the attack and demanded immediate action against the attackers.

On Sunday afternoon, the JCD cadres beat up Barin Ghose, a master's student of drama and dramatics department, for his alleged involvement in persuading a girl, who came to JU on a visit on Sunday, to smoke.

They also beat and shaved head of Paul James Gomez, a master's student of anthropology department, who tried to protect Barin.

Both of them are well-known photographers of the campus.
