BAU incident: One of two probe bodies fails again
One of the two probe committees, formed to investigate last month's violence at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), missed its deadline to submit reports for the second tine yesterday.
The violence that took place between two factions of BAU Chhatra League on the campus left Rabbi, a 10-year-old madrasa student dead on January 19.
As the death news spread, angry mob of nearby villages vandalised five student dormitories. The authorities then shut down the university for an indefinite period.
The day after the mayhem, the probe bodies were formed and asked to submit reports on January 23.
But on January 23, they sought seven more working days to submit reports as the students, who are the key part of the investigation, were 'not available due to the closure of the university'.
However, over 30 people, including teachers, employees and residents of nearby Boira village and eyewitnesses to the violence were interviewed, said Prof Mustafizur Rahman, head of a committee.
Regarding the missing of deadline to submit the reports yesterday, Rahman showed the same old reason.
He however hoped that the probe report would be complete after reopening of the university.
Another committee headed by Prof ATM Ziauddin said they already submitted report on Thursday.
