Miscreants locked the gate of the government Botiaghata college in Khulna and set it on fire late at night. The college night guard reported that a group of miscreants suddenly came late Saturday night, hung a lock on the college gate, poured petrol, and set it on fire, causing temporary panic in the area. Upon receiving the news, the college authorities quickly extinguished the fire with the assistance of Botiaghata police station and entered the premises after breaking the lock.
College acting principal Abul Kalam Azad stated that following a low pass rate in recent HSC exams, a decision was made to prevent students with irregular attendance from participating in exams. At the same time, wearing ID cards and uniforms was made mandatory. It is suspected that a dishonest syndicate might have carried out this sabotage due to these decisions. He further mentioned that several lawsuits regarding the college lands are ongoing, and a faction has been threatening the institution for a long time, which could be the reason behind the incident.
Botiaghata Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) S M Mizanoor Rahman stated that police immediately inspected the scene after receiving the news. Special police operations to identify and arrest those involved in this sabotage are ongoing.
