A female student at Islamic University in Kushtia has alleged cyberbullying by a fellow student, prompting the authorities to initiate a probe.

The female student of Islamic history and culture department took to social media platform Facebook on Tuesday night to reveal her ordeal.

According to her, a third-year student of IU's marketing department sent her morphed nude photos and lewd messages and also opened a fake profile of her on Facebook.

This was after the woman student rejected his advances, she wrote on the university's Facebook page IUian'.

According to the woman, at least 15 female students of different departments, including Bengla, English, Arabic language and literature, human resource management, law and land management and social work, were earlier harassed by the same youth.

"I am mentally disturbed and demand legal action in this regard," she wrote.

Several student organisations have demanded immediate action against the accused.

IU proctor Professor M Jahangir Hossain said a probe has been ordered and legal action will be taken against the accused following its report.

Despite repeated attempts, the accused could not be contacted.
