First year students of Jahangirnagar University blocked all the entrances to the campus around 6:45am today, protesting the death of fellow student Afsana Karim Rachi.

Rachi, a first-year student at the university's marketing department, died on campus in an accident involving a battery-run Three-wheeler yesterday.

The protesters presented an eight-point demand, including proper investigation and justice for Afsana's death within 24 hours.

They also called for installing adequate streetlights, footpaths, and speed bumps; regulating vehicle speeds on campus; and providing financial compensation to Afsana's family.

Their other demands include improving emergency services at the university medical center, banning unregistered vehicles, ensuring mandatory training for auto rickshaw drivers, replacing unskilled security personnel, and immediately activating all campus CCTV cameras.

"We are categorising this [death] as a case of structural homicide," said Happy Akter Shila, a first-year student of the philosophy department, adding that they will intensify their movement and call for the vice chancellor's resignation if the demands were not met within 24 hours.

According to Durbar Adi, a first-year student of the archaeology department, Afsana did not receive necessary treatment on campus following the accident.

"Thus, we are demanding a safer campus," he said.

Last night, the university authorities suspended four officials, including deputy registrar Abdur Rahman, citing negligence of duty.
