Guwahati: A civil society group comprising eminent Muslims on Thursday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing deep concern regarding the arrest of the chancellor of private educational institution University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya (USTM).

The civil society group urged the prime minister to ensure justice in the matter.

USTM chancellor Mahbabul Hoque was arrested from his Guwahati residence in the early hours of Saturday.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma claimed that Hoque was part of a network that lured students with false promises of high marks.

“This arrest of a respected, non-political citizen and his prolonged incarceration has been aimed at demoralising a section of progressive members of society. It prevents efforts by enlightened citizens to strive towards establishing modern secular institutions of higher learning and medical facilities,” the letter signed by former chief election commissioner S Y Quraishi, former Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, former Aligarh Muslim University vice chancellor Zameer Uddin Shah, former MP Shahid Siddiqui and industrialist Saeed Sherwani said.

“This is pure vendetta and we are confident that you will give directions for redressal,” the civil society group ‘Citizens For Fraternity’ said.

In their letter to Modi, the group said Hoque was arrested in the early hours of Saturday “without an initial charge-sheet or arrest warrant and has been lodged in Karim Gunj Jail, about 300 km from Guwahati”.

“The charge-sheet made available a day after his arrest accuses him of encouraging mass cheating in the Class 12 exam. The timing of arrest, on a Saturday morning when judicial redress is difficult, clearly smacks of vendetta by the Government of Assam against USTM and its founder,” the letter stated.

Haque, accused of assuring students that they could use unfair means to secure high marks, was remanded to 14-day judicial custody by a local court in Sribhumi district of Assam. Along with Haque, five teachers from a school in Patharkandi were also arrested.
