75 students of Chattogram Medical College (CMC) have been expelled and 86 others have been punished for various terms on charges of disciplinary breach.
The decision was taken at the college's academic council meeting on Monday (October 28). Among those punished are 14 trainee doctors.
CMC Principal Professor Dr. Jasim Uddin confirmed the punishment of the students.
College sources said that a committee was formed four months ago to investigate the students' disciplinary breach. The investigation found evidence of illegal entry into the hostel, illegal occupation of rooms, breach of promise, beating and involvement in terrorist activities and destroying the educational environment against these students.
A decision was taken at a meeting held on Sunday (October 27) in this regard to punish 86 people for various terms, including the expulsion of 75 students. This was informed at the academic council meeting on Monday.
75 students have been expelled for periods ranging from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of disciplinary violation. Bonds have been taken from the remaining 11 students.
