Of them, three -- SUST JCD Vice-President Moyeen Al Din Bin Nasir, Md Jasim Uddin and Bidhan Das -- will be expelled for life, three others -- Md Shakhawat Hossain, Md Murshedul Alam and Md Nasir Uddin -- for two years and seven others -- Quazi Naimul Huda, Md Emran Hossain Bhuiyan, Md Amirul Islam (Bipul), Md Ershad, Kausar Ahmed, Md Abul Kalam Azad, and Shah Mohammad Muhibullah -- for one year.

The syndicate at an emergency meeting last night approved the punitive measures on the basis of the probe report on the killing of JCD leader Rafiqul Islam Patwary.

Patwary was killed by the activists of a faction of the JCD, student wing of the ruling party, in the early hours of July 14.

A seven-member probe committee, headed by Maj. Gen. (Retd.) Nazmul Islam, a member of the syndicate, submitted its report to the vice-chancellor on Monday night.

The probe report was also discussed at a meeting of the disciplinary committee yesterday afternoon.

The syndicate decided that the expelled students will not be allowed to enter the campus during the term of their expulsion.

It also decided that the ban imposed earlier by the proctorial committee on all types of processions, rallies and human chains will remain in force for six months.
