August 4, 2026, Rajshahi University Central Students’ Union (RAKSU) Vice-President Mostakur Rahman Zahid threatened legal action against journalists and news outlets during a press conference. Zahid accused media organizations of publishing biased reports that defended the banned Chhatra League following the physical assault of three university students. He criticized news outlets for framing the clash as an “attack” rather than “student resistance” and claimed recent library protests were organized by Chhatra Dal. Zahid stated that RAKSU is collecting published news reports to hold accountable journalists who presented a one-sided narrative.
