Buet students to withdraw protest today

Buet students today will call a press conference to call off the ongoing protest that ensued after the death of fellow student Abrar Fahad.

The press conference will be held at 4pm today on the university campus.

Nearly two months ago, the students of Buet started protest demanding justice for the murder of Abrar. However, after the university administration agreed to meet all their demands, the students called off their protest.

In the face of the protest, Buet banned both student and teacher politics on its campus, and removed the provost of Sher-e-Bangla Hall on October 10. All floors in each dormitory were brought under round-the-clock CCTV surveillance.

The university also helped law enforcing agencies arrest Abrar's killers and prepare the charge-sheet fast.

Finally, 26 students were expelled over the Abrar killing after police submitted the charge-sheet on November 13.

Of them, 25 were named in the charge-sheet. Another six students were given punishment of different terms for breaching university discipline.
