The student made the gruesome discovery while eating lunch on Monday and fell sick immediately, the head of security at Rajshahi university in western Bangladesh, Chowdhury Muhammad Zakaria, told AFP.
'We've launched an investigation to find out why rodent meat was served to students,' he said on Wednesday, adding that the chef had been fired and handed over to police, and the canteen closed temporarily.
'We don't know if this was an accident or deliberate,' he said, adding that the police were investigating.
The incident led to protests by students at the university, the country's second largest with over 25,000 students, who were already demonstrating about a recent hike in the price of meals at the canteen.
