Dhaka, Feb 27 (Just News): The Dhaka University authorities have recommend that seven of its students, all members of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), should be suspended for beating a student of Salimullah Muslim (SM) Hall of the university.

Barring Ariful, who is the vice president of BCL SM Hall unit and a fourth year student, the accused are all second year students. They beat up Ehsan Rafique, a student of disaster management department, inside the dormitory on 6 February as he wanted his calculator back, something Omar had taken from him three months ago.

The DU recommendation suggests Omar Faruk should be expelled permanently while his five batch-mates be suspended for two years.
Ariful will be suspended for a year for being an accomplice.
DU proctor AKM Golam Rabbani told newsmen that the disciplinary commiitee of the university made the recommendations on the basis of an investigation.
The recommendations will be placed in the upcoming meeting of the university's Syndicate.
