Dhaka University teacher Professor Asif Nazrul received death threat over his mobile phone by an anonymous caller on Thursday. Sub-inspector (SI) of Shahbagh Thana,
Surujuddin Ahmed confirmed the news.
He further said that SI Sohel was investigating the matter. Later Prof Nazrul filed a general diary (GD) with Shahbagh Police Station seeking security. The GD said the Asif Nazrul has been threatened for criticising government and participating in talk shows on television channels. “Why do you criticise the government? You should not do so. You should not take part in talk shows on television channels,” the GD said, adding “If you go there again, you will be shot dead on the DU campus.”
The caller issued the threat from a Teletalk number (01552951453), but the number was later found unreachable.
