3 JnU teachers suspended

Three teachers of the Mass Communication and Journalism Department of Jagannath University (JnU) have been suspended from teaching master's students for threatening a female student and giving her offensive proposals.

An official order issued by the university authorities to Meer Mosharraf Hossain alias Razib Meer, Bornona Bhoumick and Prianka Sornokar said the three would not be allowed in any academic activities of the department from April 18, 2016.

A five-member body headed by JnU Treasurer Professor Md. Selim Bhuiyan was formed to investigate the incident. The committee was asked to submit the report within 3 weeks.

Professor Dr. Mizanur Rahman, Vice-Chancellor of the university, said a journalism student filed a complaint against Razib, alleging that he had threatened to lower her exam score if she did not accept his indecent proposal.

Account Benefit"Based on the complaint and analyzing some voice records, the probe body found that the claim of the complainant was true. This is why Razib was suspended. The two other female teachers were suspended as Razib told the girl that he would convince the teachers to also lower her score in their subjects if she did not say yes to his proposal", he said.

"The girl filed the four-page complaint on April 12, 2016. The probe body is analyzing it further and the next decision regarding the suspended teachers would be taken after getting the report of the committee."
