Detective Branch of police have arrested three more accused on the charge of killing of Abrar Fahad on the campus of Bangladesh University of engineering and Technology (BUET).
They are Md Moniruzzaman Monir, Md Akash Hossain, and Shamsul Arefin Rafat – all of them are 21 years old and students of BUET.
The detectives caught Monir, a third-year student of Water Resources Engineering Department, at Demra and second-year Mechanical Engineering Student Rafat at Jigatala in the afternoon. Akash, a third-year student of Civil Engineering, was caught in Gazipur Bypass area in the evening.
They are among the 19 accused in the Abrar murder case filed by his father, according to Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Detective Branch.
“The drive to arrest the others is under way,” said DMP DB Additional Deputy Commissioner Arafat Lenin.
Earlier, the case was shifted to DB on Tuesday after police arrested 10 leaders of Bangladesh Chhatra League’s BUET unit.
Abrar’s body was found on the staircase of Sher-e-Bangla Hall on Monday dawn.
His classmates alleged that BCL men beat him to death suspecting his links to Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami.
His father Barkatullah subsequently filed the case, in which the 10 arrested on Monday were remanded for five days on Tuesday.
Security camera footage of the hall showed a few people dragging Abrar down the corridor by his hands and feet.
