Assistant Proctor Liton Mitra said as part of the crackdown against the drugs they conducted raids on the banks of the Biological Science Faculty's pond, Central Field, behind Bangabandhu Hall, Social Science Faculty, Mukto Moncho, and other spots from Saturday afternoon to night.
He informed that they will impose academic penalties on the detained students as per the university rule while police will take legal actions against the outsiders under the rules.
Earlier this year, the CU administration restricted the entry of outsiders to the campus and students were instructed to hold their ID cards with them constantly to verify them.
