Screenshots of these comments were bought to notice of the AMU administration on Wednesday following which the university’s proctorial team issued the show-cause notices to the three students and warned them of action if no suitable reply came, said Dr Zaidi.

The derogatory post and similar comments on them by the three Bangladeshi students were made on different days recently. Confirming it, Dr Syed Ali Nawaz Zaidi, also the assistant proctor at AMU, said, “One of these three students is currently at the university while another returned to Bangladesh after his graduation and leaving his PG midway.”

“The third Bangladeshi student had applied for admission at AMU and got it but because of visa issues has not reached the university so far,” he added.

“In case these students fail to submit satisfactory reply, they will face action as AMU is not going to tolerate any activities or views against the nation and its tradition,” Dr Zaidi added. “We held a meeting with the Bangladeshi students at the AMU on Wednesday and counselled them,” he said.

Recently, the AMU administration affirmed that security of Bangladeshi students was a priority well attended by them. As per Dr Zaidi, around 35 to 40 students from Bangladesh are enrolled at various departments of the AMU.
