On the other hand, general students of Dhaka University staged another candle-lit rally around 8-8.45 pm at the same place protesting the rape of BSMRUST students and BCL attacks on the protesters of the rape.
At the rally, Shamsunnahar Hall, former VP of Parliament Tasnim Afroze Emi said, “Rape seems to have become a public issue all around the country but there is no trial for rape and torture in the country.”
