In a statement on Tuesday, the university administration said the officer, Ziaur Rahman, had been suspended over the incident at the Curzon Hall polling centre, designated for Amar Ekushey Hall voters, reports bdnews24.com. The statement also underscored the university‍‍`s commitment to "conducting the election in a free, fair and impartial manner”. A total of 471 candidates are vying for 28 DUCSU posts, with over 1,000 others contesting 234 hall union seats. The election is taking place at a time when no single student organisation dominates the campus, and without the influence of a ruling party’s student wing -- a situation many see as unprecedented at Dhaka University.
