The University of Dhaka has suspended an employee and served him a show-cause notice after preliminary inquiries found alleged involvement in crude bomb blasts and campus unrest.

In a press statement on Tuesday, November 10, the university’s Public Relations Office identified the employee as Aman Ullah of the Estate Office. Pro-Vice Chancellor for Administration Professor Dr Mohammad Almozaddedi Alfesani confirmed the suspension, though officials did not specify the exact incident involved.

Following an emergency meeting with law enforcement Tuesday night, the administration vowed strict disciplinary and legal action against anyone found responsible in an investigation, regardless of rank, identity, or university affiliation.

To strengthen security, officials ordered continuous police patrols, checkpoints at the university’s six entrances, and tight screening of outsiders carried out jointly by police, the proctorial team, and Bangladesh National Cadet Corps (BNCC) cadets. All faculty, students, officers, and staff were told to carry university ID cards at all times, alongside expanded closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance.

Vice Chancellor Professor Dr ABM Obaidul Islam chaired the meeting, joined by Pro-Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Professor Dr Abdus Salam, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Administration Professor Dr Mohammad Almozaddedi Alfesani, Treasurer Professor Dr M Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, Proctor Professor Israfil Prang, and other officials.
