Tamanna Jasmine Riva, president of Eden College unit of Chhatra League (BCL), has allegedly tortured two students after confining them for six and half hours in a room.
During torture, Riva allegedly threatened the two that "a video of stripping them would be recorded and would be released online".
The students claimed Riva wanted them to confess to leaking an audio clip.
The two resident students of Razia Begum hall said that they were called to a room, confined and mentally tormented from 11am to 5:30pm yesterday (August 23, 2022).
Four days ago, an audio clip of Riva was reportedly leaked, in which she was heard using abusive words and threatening some students of a hall.
After being tortured for six and half hours yesterday, the two victims were forced to give confessional statements. Later the hall provost Nargis Ruma rescued the two.
One of the students said that Riva forced them to join political programmes often. Even if she was unwell, she was not spared. Such kind of torment has been going on for a long time, she alleged.
But that day, she recorded the audio clip to keep evidence. Sumona Mim, vice-president of BCL's Eden College unit, never gave her instructions or advice in this regard.
Riva was called several times on her mobile phone since last night till the time of writing this report for her remarks on the allegations. She did not receive the calls or respond to messages.
Provost Nargis Ruma was also called several times to no avail.
The provost last night told media that she did not know of any such incident. She will try to find out about it.
