The English department professor filed a general diary (GD) at Ashulia Police Station on Thursday (21 November) over the threat, he told the media today (23 November).

The Jahangirnagar University Teachers’ Association also expressed concern over the death threat.
In a joint statement yesterday (22 November), the association’s President Prof Motaher Hossain and General Secretary Prof Shahid Rana demanded exemplary punishment for those involved in the incident.
