Dhaka’s Fourth Speedy Trial Tribunal on Wednesday fixed June 19 to record the depositions of more witnesses in the Jahangirnagar University student Zubair Ahmed murder case. However, the prosecution failed to produce anyone to testify on Thursday in the case.
On June 8, the court recorded the depositions of Kamrul Hasan, a neighbour of slain Zubair, and fixed June 12, as the next date to record the depositions of more witnesses.
So far, a total of 22 people have testified in the case. On seven consecutive scheduled dates till May 28, the prosecution similarly could not
produce anyone to testify in the case. Zubair, an English Department student of the university, was beaten by some Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists on January 8, 2012 and he succumbed to his injuries at United Hospital in the capital the following day.
A case was later filed with Ashulia Police Station in this connection. Police submitted the charge sheet of the case against 13 BCL men on April 8, 2012.
On September 8 last year, the Speedy Trial Tribunal framed charges against 13 BCL activists in the murder.
