Earlier, a five-member probe committee, headed by Prof Khalequzzman of zoology department, was formed for investigating alleged irregularities in the admission of eight students of first year honours in 2006-07 academic sessions at the social work department.

It was alleged that a clerk in the department was behind the admission of the fake students and he realised Tk 2 lakh for this ill-task.

A member of the probe committee told this correspondent that the committee found some irregularities in the admission process. However, he did not elaborate.

Earlier, several hundred students of the social work department staged demonstration on the campus protesting admission of eight alleged fake students.

The students also boycotted their scheduled class and examination demanding punishment to the clerk.

When contacted, RU Vice-Chancellor Prof Altaf Hossain said the university authorities will review the report and take disciplinary action against the responsible people in the next syndicate meeting.

A teacher of the department said admission of the eight fake students will be cancelled and genuine students will be taken in.
