Police took to court detained 10 members of Bangladesh Chhatra League's BUET chapter on Tuesday, seeking a 10-day remand to grill them over the murder of Abrar Fahad, a student of the university.
The suspects are Mehedi Hassan Russel, Muhtasim Fuad, Mehedi Hasan Robin, Anik Sarkar, Meftahul Zion, Iftee Mosharraf Shokal, Muntasir Al Zemi, Mozahidur Rahman Mozahid, Tabakkharul Islam Tanvir and Ishtiaq Ahmad Munna.
All are students of BUET.
A resident of Sher-e-Bangla Hall, Abrar was bludgeoned to death on Sunday. His classmates alleged that BCL men beat him to death suspecting his links to Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami.
Police retrieved the body from the first-floor stairway of the dormitory. Abrar's father Barkatullah subsequently started a case against 19 people over the incident.
