A section of Dhaka University (DU) students staged demonstration in front of the vice-chancellor`s house on Wednesday demanding punishment for a teacher for sexually harassing a female student.
The accused teacher is Prof Nurul Islam of the Institute of Social Welfare and Research.
Earlier, the agitated students padlocked the teacher`s room.
The students then went to meet DU VC Prof ASM Maksud Kamal at his office and submitted a letter to him, demanding immediate action in this regard.
The students, in the letter, alleged that Prof Nurul had been sexually harassing several female students at their institute for a long time.
They demanded the suspension of the accused teacher from all academic activities.
According to the students, the VC assured them that actions would be taken against the accused following an investigation.
Prof Nurul, however, couldn`t be reached for comment.
