Prof Azmal Hossain Bhuiyan of botany department was also harassed, added Prof Jamal.

Prof Zeenat Huda, general secretary of the Dhaka University Teachers’ Association, who was harassed at the teachers’ lounge of the Faculty of Social Sciences building, expressed shock over the incident.

“How could such an incident involving teachers happen in broad daylight on a campus like Dhaka University?”

Talking to this correspondent, Zubair said he and Ducsu members, along with the proctorial team, went to hand the teachers over to police.

He alleged that Prof Jamal commented that “the self-proclaimed sons of Razakars should be killed” during the student-led July mass uprising. Zubair also accused “Neel Dal” teachers of siding with ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina at that time.

He alleged that Prof Jamal and Prof Zeenat had met with Hasina at the Gono Bhaban during the uprising.

SI Mainul Islam of Shahbagh Police Station said no complaint was filed over the incident.

Despite repeated attempts, DU Proctor Saifuddin Ahmed could not be reached for comments.

Meanwhile, the Dhaka University Teachers’ Association condemned the incident and demanded the formation of an impartial investigation committee to ensure punishment for those involved.
