According to the case documents fifty students of private Sonargaon University in the city's Green Road area used to live in the hostel as tenants. As the government declared holiday amid coronavirus crises in March, the students went to their homes locking their rooms.
Recently they learned that their landlord threw away their certificates and other goods from their rooms as they failed to pay the three-month room rent.
Later, a tenant named Md Sohan filed the case with Kalabagan Police Station in this regard.
