Moreover, he will not get any promotion in this tenure.

Mandal was charged for using his colleague’s research works in his own name.

The university syndicate took the decision on Saturday night in a syndicate meeting, chaired by the university’s vice-chancellor Muhammad Mizanuddin.

The allegation brought against Mandal was proved in the meeting.

The accused teacher Krisnapad Mandal said “I have no idea about the given penalty.”

The administration must have taken the right decision, he added.

Dr Asit Roy said that Krisnapad Mandal had written and published a book about music where he copied my research works without any permission or reference. I informed the matter to the university authority, he added.

On the other hand, the university’s accounting and information systems department lecturer Mamun Hossain was suspended temporarily.

The university syndicate took the decision as he has lost the examination papers of the students. An investigation committee was formed to look into the matter.
