The accused, all from the Faculty of Agriculture, were handed the penalty in line with Section-7 of the university's ‘Ordinance for Student Discipline.’

Prof Israt Jahan Shelly, provost of the hall, said, “We have received the official order, and it will be served to the accused students soon. No injustice will be tolerated on campus. Ragging is a clear offense. I have submitted all evidence to the vice-chancellor, who maintains a strict stance against wrongdoing.”
