Dhaka University Vice Chancellor Niaz Ahmed Khan defended the DUCSU election process against rigging accusations during a Sunday press conference. Media reports had claimed ballot papers were improperly printed at Nilkhet markets without university supervision. Khan explained that vendors subcontracted printing work to complete the large order but failed to notify university officials beforehand.
Security features like codes, seals and signatures were added at the vendor's office under proper oversight. The vendor transported completed ballots to the university under tight security protocols. More than 2,000 additional papers lacked security marks and were destroyed.
Khan stated that printing locations cannot compromise election integrity. Candidates may access CCTV footage and ballot verification upon submitting specific written requests with clear reasoning.
