When contacted, Additional Secretary of secondary and higher education division of education ministry Abdullah Al Mamun said, we have got written complaint against the JU Vice Chancellor. The matter is being checked secretly. Legal action will be taken against her if evidence is found regarding the allegation.

Abdullah Al Mamun said, the allegation is very serious but it is still in the primary stage. If it is necessary probe body will be formed.

In this regard efforts were made to contact JU VC professor Farzan Islam but it was not fruitful. But Pro-Vice Chancellor professor Dr. Md. Amir Hossain said, there is a rumor in the university campus over the issue of taking commission. A group of people cannot accept the incident and demand taking action against her. But it did not hamper the academic activities of the university.
