The closure of Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (Kuet) has been extended till December 23.
The decision was taken at a virtual meeting of Kuet syndicate on Sunday night, said spokesperson of KUET’s Public Relations and Information Department Robiul Islam Sohag.
Earlier on December 3, the university was declared closed till December 13 over the death of Prof. Dr Selim Hossain.
The teacher died allegedly being mentally tortured and harassed by the members of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL).
The students were asked to leave their residential halls by 4:00 pm on that day.
Besides, a five-member probe committee was formed over the death which was asked to submit its report within 10 days.
But the committee could not complete the investigation by this time. Considering the recommendation of the probe body, the authorities extended the closure of the institution.
Prof Selim, 38, a teacher of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) department at the university, was also the provost of Lalan Shah Hall.
