A group of students closed at least 25 shops in Battala of the university around 8 pm on Wednesday in protest against the incident on Tuesday. After that, tension arose between the two sides of the students. Later, members of the university’s proctorial team came and restrained both parties.

Talking to some students of the university, it is known that Jaksu leader Hosne Mubarak went to eat at ‘Habib Bhai’s Hotel’ in Battala of the university on Tuesday night. At that time, he misbehaved with the employee by complaining that he got flies in the food. At one point, Hosne Mubarak threw a bowl of Halim at a hotel employee, hitting him. After this afternoon, the students started reacting to the incident in the university-based Facebook groups. Later around seven in the evening, a group of students ordered the shopkeepers in Battala to close the shops in protest. Later the shopkeepers were forced to close the shop. After that, both sides of the students created tension by exchanging slogans on the spot.

Eyewitnesses said that among the students in Battala, those who were against the misconduct of the Jaksur leader, were joined by the leaders and activists of the university branch student body. On the other hand, some other students along with Mohammad Ali Chishti, an elected executive member from Jaksu students took a stand for the other side. The Chhatra Dal party demanded the trial of Hosne Mubarak, the accused leader of Jaksu; On the other hand, Jaksu executive member Chishti and others also demanded justice, but asked to open the shops. Later, when the assistant proctor of the university, Professor Abdur Razzak, came to the spot, tension arose between the two sides and abuse was seen.

Jaksu executive member Mohammad Ali Chishti said, “We all want justice for what Jaksu leader Hosne Mubarak has done. But forcefully closing down all shops in Battala is not a solution. We were against the closure of shops.

Meanwhile, Jaksur Health and Food Safety Secretary Hosne Mubarak denied the accusation of throwing a bowl of Halim at the employee last night. He said, “As an ordinary student, I threw the bowl in protest when I saw the fly in the smelly substance in the food. I did not hurt him physically. It is not possible for Jaksu alone to ensure food quality. As an ordinary student, I think that if you see a problem somewhere, you should take immediate action.

Professor Abdur Razzak, assistant proctor of the university, said that the tension arose due to the throwing of Halim’s bowl at the shopkeeper and the subsequent closure of the shop by a section of students. The situation is contained. The issue will be resolved tomorrow.
