In a late-night demonstration, a group of Dhaka University (DU) students staged a protest on campus, demanding the immediate resignation of Home Adviser Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, citing a surge in crimes across the country.
The protest began at 1:30 am on Monday on the university campus.
The students issued an ultimatum to the Home Adviser, demanding his resignation by 1 pm on Tuesday.
Students from various halls first gathered at Hallpara before marching towards the Raju Sculpture, chanting slogans such as “Dofa ek, dabi ek – Jahangir er podottog” (One demand, one goal – Jahangir must resign) and “Amar bhai rastay more, proshason ki kore?” (My brother was killed on the streets – what is the administration doing?).
Expressing their frustration over the rising incidents of killings, robberies, and sexual violence across the country, they accused the Home Adviser of failing to ensure public safety.
