Dhaka, Dec. 11 -- A Dhaka University professor aligned with the Awami League-backed Blue Panel has been chased off campus after students confronted him over an alleged unauthorised meeting at the Faculty of Social Sciences.

The incident unfolded shortly after 1pm on Thursday when sociology department Prof AKM Jamal Uddin and fellow Blue Panel academic Prof Zeenat Huda visited the faculty building.

Several students claim the group had gathered there for a "secret meeting". Word of the meeting spread quickly, drawing students to the area.

As Prof Jamal and the accompanying teachers left the building, students led by Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU) Social Welfare Secretary AB Zubair began pursuing him.
