Students of Narail Nursing College on Thursday confined the principal and an instructor to the principal’s office alleging corruption and indecent behaviour.
The students formed a human chain and staged a protest on the college premises around 10am bringing a series of allegations against Principal Afroza Khatun.
The allegations include embezzlement of mess funds, use of rude language against students, misappropriation of funds allocated by the Directorate General of Nursing and Midwifery (DGNM), manipulation of formative marks and issuing threats to students.
Later, the protesting students confined Principal Afroza Khatun and instructor Reksona Parveen to the principal’s room.
During the protest, the students demanded the resignation of the two officials, proper accountability for the alleged corrupt practices and the return of all embezzled money.
At one stage, the students produced resignation letters, which were later signed by the two officials.
However, the students refused to allow them to leave, insisting that they would remain confined until fair accountability is ensured and the alleged misappropriated money is returned.
Principal Afroza Khatun, however, denied all the allegations brought against her.
On information, police rushed to the spot to bring the situation under control.
Necessary legal action will be taken, said Md Oli Mia, Officer-in-Charge of Narail Sadar Police Station.
