Six Chinese students at Dhaka University (DU) have decided to return to China before completing their academic courses, following a recent cocktail attack scare on the campus. The development was confirmed through multiple sources on Wednesday (November 12).

Background of the Incident

The decision comes amid growing concerns over campus security among international students. While university authorities have claimed the situation is under control, the scare has reportedly spread anxiety among foreign students, prompting this preemptive move. The news was first reported by Kaler Kantho and later by bdnews24.com.

Students' Decision

The decision to leave before the end of the course has been described as 'unexpected' by observers. A section of DU's international students has already demanded stronger security measures. The swift decision to return home following the cocktail scare has sparked fresh discussions within the campus community.

Role of Authorities

The university administration has not yet made any official statement regarding the matter. However, it is anticipated that additional security measures may be introduced to ensure the safety of students. The Chinese embassy is also reported to be closely monitoring the situation.
