Muhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan, the provost of Sher-e-Bangla Hall of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet), has resigned in the face of protest over the murder of student Abrar Fahad.

He submitted his resignation on Wednesday afternoon, confirmed Buet Teachers' Association President Professor Dr AKM Masud.

The protesting students yesterday demanded resignation of the provost within October 11 on allegation that he had been completely unaware of the use of political power to unlawfully evict students from Buet dorms.

Abrar, 22, a second-year student of Buet's electrical and electronics engineering department, was beaten to death allegedly by a group of Chhatra League men in Sher-E-Bangla Hall on Monday over his alleged affiliation with Chhatra Shibir.
