Sayeedi, who was jailed unto death for his crimes against humanity in 1971, was present in the court.
On Saturday, he was brought to Rajshahi Central Jail from Kashimpur. Maximum security was ensured on the court premises from Wednesday night upon his arrival.
State prosecutor Siraji Shawkat Salehi said the charges were framed against Sayeedi as he had arrived in Rajshahi three days before the assassination and persuaded Chhatra Shibir activists.
Jamaat-e-Islami's student organisation Islami Chhatra Shibir activists raided the university on February 7, 2010, and hacked Chhatra League leader Farooq Hossain to death.
