Cricket fans of Rajshahi University today burnt the effigies of three umpires protesting their alleged partial umpiring during Bangladesh-India quarter final match in the ICC Cricket World Cup2015.

Hundreds of RU students under the banner of "Rajshahi University Cricket Fans" brought out a procession on campus and burnt the effigies of Ian Gould, Aleem Dar and Steve Davis at 12:45pm, demanding their punishment.

Earlier around 12:20pm, they formed a human chain in front of the central library, our RU correspondent reports.

Several decisions of umpire Ian Gould-- calling a 'no-ball' on Rubel Hossain's full toss and turning down Mashrafe's LBW—were highly criticised. This also included when batsman Mahmudullah was given out in the 17th over in the second-half of the quarter finals in Melbourne.

Bangladesh's World Cup mission came to an end following a 109-run defeat against India on March 19.

বছরখানেক সময় পেলে সংস্কার কাজগুলো করে যাব: আইন উপদেষ্টা

আইন উপদেষ্টা বলেন, দেশে যদি প্রতি পাঁচ বছর পর পর সুষ্ঠু নির্বাচন হতো এবং নির্বাচিত দল সরকার গঠন করত, তাহলে ক্ষমতাসীন দল বিচার বিভাগকে ব্যবহার করে এতটা স্বৈরাচারী আচরণ করতে পারত না।
