[1] After a year-long protests dominated by female students, on August 2, 1999, Jasimuddin Manik and his armed cadres, accused of numerous rape and sexual harassments inside the campus were ousted from the university.
The committee also installed Jasimuddin Manik, an alleged rapist, in charge of the General Secretary of Jahangirnagar University unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League.
[7] After knowing this, the enraged students continued protesting and demanded the expulsion of accused Bangladesh Chhatra League leaders as well as urged the authority to file case against them.
However, Manik and his men stormed into the campus in July 1999 with firearms and took back the control of the dormitories under the nose of the authorities loyal to Awami League government.
Mir Mehedi Hasan Titu, one of the followers of Manik and a member of the "Rapist Group", assaulted one of the leading figures of the movement Professor Rehnuma Ahmed on September 3 of 1999.
[12] Even after two decades, Bangladesh Chhatra League men often boast of their ability to rape and threaten girls online referring to Jasimuddin Manik and his rapist group.
