Dhaka University disciplinary committee has expelled a total of 12 students permanently and 151 others for different terms for their allegation in admission for test forgery and digital fraudulence.

The committee made the decision after a syndicate meeting at Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban on Sunday, press release reads.

DU Vice Chancellor Prof Md Akhtaruzzaman presided over the meeting while other members of the committee were present.

These students were enrolled in the university through fraudulent means in the academic sessions from 2013-14 to 2016-17. Earlier two of them were served show cause notices to explain their stand.

Meanwhile, the council has barred three teachers from evaluating examination papers for the next three years in the wake of allegations of ‘inappropriate’ checking against them.

They are Prof ASM Atikur Rahman, Prof Golam Azam and Associate Professor Mainuddin Molla of the Social Welfare and Research Institute.

In August 2019, DU authorities suspended as many as 69 students for adopting unfair means during admission tests.

According to Dhaka University laws, expelled students can't challenge the decision of the syndicate. This rule is, however, not applicable to suspended students.
