Teachers of the Rajshahi University (RU) mass communication and journalism department have rejected the police charge sheet over the suicide of their colleague Akter Jahan Jolly, claiming that it was full of misinformation. The deposition of seven MCJ teachers documented in the charge sheet under Section 161 [of the Code of Criminal Procedure], is full of incorrect and inconsistent information. However, the charge sheet mentions that seven teachers recorded depositions under Section 161.”The statement further said the depositions contained incorrect information that had never been mentioned by any teacher of the department. Sub-Inspector Broj Gopal submitted the charge sheet on the case on August 25 this year, charging Atiqur Rahman Raja, associate professor at the MCJ department, with Jolly’s death. Accusations were initially made against Tanveer Ahmad, associate professor at the same department and Jolly’s former husband, for indirectly inciting her suicide.
