Bangladesh
The law ministry today decided to shift the case proceedings of Buet student Abrar murder to Speedy Trial Tribunal.
Earlier, a Dhaka court took into cognizance the charge sheet filed in connection with the case filed over the death of Abrar Fahad, reported Somoy TV.
During the hearing, 25 people were made accused in the case and among them, 22 are behind bars while three are on the run.
On October 7 last year, Buet student Abrar Fahad was beaten to death by a group of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) men at the university's Sher-e-Bangla Hall.
A month later, on November 30 last year, MD Wahiduzaman, investigation officer of the case, submitted a charge sheet to Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Dhaka, accusing 25 Buet students.
Later on January 13, the trial was shifted to the Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge's Court from Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court.
