JUST vice chancellor Abdus Sattar said they had decided to temporarily expel BCL president Subrata Biswas and general secretary Shamim Hasan following preliminary investigations.
A five-member probe body has been formed, he added.
Fourth year environment department student, Naimul Islam Riyad , 25, was stabbed to death on Monday in front of the JUST's main entrance, said Kotowali Police Station OC Shahidul Islam.
