On the other hand, the JUST Karmachari Samiti filed a written complaint with the registrar blaming the discourteous behavior of the transport administrator behind his suicide attempt.

It is said that, in the complaint, the transport administrator of the transport department Dr. Zafirul Islam behaved disrespectfully with the driver-helpers working in the transport department in the university since joining. Even after the mileage was determined by the oil measuring committee, the transport administrator called the driver-helpers working part-time as oil thieves.

The deceased Mofizur Rahman tried to commit suicide by pouring petrol on his body at his home in Ambattala area adjacent to the university last Friday (December 29) at night. When he was taken to Jessore Sadar Hospital in an injured condition, the doctor on duty of the emergency department ordered him to be transferred to Dhaka Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery without admitting him there. According to family sources, about 80 percent of his body was burnt.
