Bangladesh's Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu and Dhaka University Vice Chancellor AAMS Arefin Siddique were among 25 persons allegedly received death threats Tuesday from a banned militant outfit.

Militants published the hit-list in a letter to the Dhaka University vice chancellor on Tuesday.

A Dhaka University official, on condition of anonymity said the Ansarullah Bangla Team which was banned last month sent a letter by registered post to the office of the Dhaka University vice chancellor.

The letter wrapped with a white envelope mentioned the names of the 25 eminent personalities.

A Bangladesh Police official said the investigations are underway.
