Authorities at Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University in Trishal, Mymensingh, have suspended Assistant Professor Kalyananshu Raha of the Faculty of Fine Arts following allegations that he participated in a virtual meeting with top leaders of the banned Awami League to plot the ouster of the current government.
The suspension was confirmed in an official letter issued last Thursday, signed by Khandaker Nazmul Hassan, the acting registrar of the university. While the directive was signed mid-week, the incident became public on Saturday.
Khandaker Nazmul Hassan stated that the administrative decision was taken under the instruction of the university authorities. He confirmed that a proposal has been submitted to initiate a formal investigation into the allegations, noting that further action would be determined based on the findings of that probe.
Attempts to reach Kalyananshu Raha for comment via multiple telephone calls were unsuccessful. Tapan Kumar Sarkar, head of the Department of Fine Arts, confirmed that the department received a copy of the suspension order late Thursday, but declined to provide further details regarding the ongoing matter.
