Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) executive member Sarba Mitra Chakma has decid-ed to resign from his post following widespread criticism over a viral video showing some youths being forced to do squats while holding their ears at Dhaka University central field.
In a Facebook post on Monday afternoon, Sarba Mitra said the students of Dhaka University elected him with high expectations and since assuming office he had placed several proposals before the administra-tion to ensure campus security.
These included introducing registered rickshaws on campus and restricting vehicle movement.
He wrote there is no CCTV coverage or adequate security at the central field. “From harassment of fe-male students to mobile phone, wallet and bicycle theft, almost all kinds of incidents have occurred there. Female students had complained they could not play on the field due to the presence and harass-ment by outsiders,” he added.
