The JnU students on Saturday staged demonstrations on the campus with a six-point demand including fair trial and arrest of the accused in connection with the death of Fairuz, a Law Department student of the university.
The students made this demand in a protest march organised under the banner 'Jagannath University Against Oppression'.
The students’ procession paraded the entire campus starting from the Shanto Chattar premises of the university and ended at the same place.
Rezwan, a student of Economics department, presented a 6-point demand in the protest programme.
The six point demands are – fair and impartial investigation into the death, arrest of accused student Amman Siddique and Assistant Proctor Deen Islam, their immediate expulsion through an emergency Syndicate meeting, providing maximum security to the victim's family, filing of a case by the university administration as plaintiff and establishment of sexual harassment cell at the university.
They threatened that if their demands are not met within 24 hours, they will siege the administrative building at 11 am on Sunday.
