Interior Minister Asaduzzaman Khan has said that legal action will be taken against the former vice president of the Central Student Union of Dhaka University (Daksu), Nurul Haque Nur, accused in a rape case.
He was answering a question from reporters after a performance at the Police Personnel School in Mirpur on Tuesday afternoon.
The interior minister said: ‘A case has been brought against Nur, the police are investigating the case. We have all the knowledge. The police are investigating how it should be addressed. Action will be taken in accordance with the law.
Earlier, a Dhaka University student filed a case against Nurul Haque Nur and six others at Lalbagh Police Station on Monday, alleging rape.
Later, Nur led a procession with his supporters on the same day (Monday) claiming that the allegations in the case were false. When the procession reached the Matsya Bhaban area, the police arrested Nur along with seven sympathizers around 8.30pm. However, they were released within hours of arrest.
By the way, Nurul Haque Nuru was elected Vice President (VP) in the Daksu elections held last year after 26 long years. However, there are reports of massive irregularities in the elections.
Apart from the student body of the ruling party, the Chhatra League, other candidates boycotted the election at the last minute. However, in the end, the Chhatra League leaders and workers were elected in 23 of the 25 positions except vice president and welfare positions.
