Two Students Detained from Dhaka University’s ‘Osman Hadi’ Hall, Expelled from the Hall

❐ Campus Representative

Dhaka University has become a hotbed for homosexual practices. The sexual behavior of activists of like-minded organizations including Shibir, the secret organization that took over DU after August 5, 2024, is now the center of discussion. Ordinary students are angry about sexual activities inside the campus.

Apart from the incident of two activists being detained for engaging in homosexuality in the AGS room of the secret organization Shibir, several other unpleasant incidents have taken place. This time, two more students have been detained in unpleasant conditions by the students. They are said to be students of the 2025-26 academic year and residential students of Kazi Nazrul Islam Hall/Osman Hadi Hall.

On February 5, 2025, after the second demolition of Bangabandhu’s house in Dhanmondi 32, the nameplate of DU’s Bangabandhu Hall was broken that night and renamed as Kazi Nazrul Islam Hall. Later, leaders and activists of like-minded organizations including the secret organization Shibir, Chhatra Dal, NCP, Inquilab Manch, and others renamed it Osman Hadi Hall.

Two students arrested on charges of engaging in homosexuality have been permanently expelled from the hall.

The expelled students are Afif Hasan Nirob and Ariful Haque Shuvo. Afif Hasan Nirob is a student of the 2025-26 academic year of the Department of History and Culture of Islam. His home is in Gopalganj. Ariful Haque Shuvo is a student of the 2025-26 academic year of the Department of Marketing. His home is in Netrokona.

When contacted, one of the accused students said that he is currently in a state of trauma over the matter. He is not willing to talk about it. Attempts were made to contact the other student, but he did not respond.

Confirming the matter in a statement, Ahmed Al Sabah, General Secretary (GS) of the Hall Sangsad, elected from the Shibir panel, said that the strictest administrative measures have been taken against two residential students of the hall’s 2025-26 session based on proven crimes of serious social disorder (homosexuality).

Considering the seriousness of the offense, they have been permanently expelled from the hall. They were immediately escorted out of the hall in the presence of a local guardian.

He further said that the matter does not end here. The process of taking stricter disciplinary measures through the university administration is underway. The process of confirming the cancellation of their university studentship with the appropriate authorities is also underway.

It is learnt that when the first complaint was received in this regard, Ahmed Al-Sabah, the leader of the GS Shibir of the Hall of Parliament, appealed to the administration for punishment on behalf of the complaining student. Later, an investigation committee was formed and after irrefutable evidence of the incident was found, they were brought under the maximum punishment.

Earlier, on Thursday, July 30, a student who was caught engaging in homosexuality at Masterda Surya Sen Hall was permanently expelled from the hall. He was handed over to the custody of his department’s student advisor in the presence of the university administration. Muhammad Rafiqul Islam, assistant proctor of the university, confirmed this information.

Apart from this, similar allegations were made against two workers staying in the room of Shibir leader Ibrahim Khalil, the Assistant General Secretary (AGS) of the Hall Sangsad at Shahidullah Hall. In this incident, AGS’s residential seat was temporarily cancelled.
