The fourth Speedy Trial Tribunal’s Judge ABM Nizamul Haque has set the date on Wednesday after hearing final arguments.
Biswajit Das, a tailor, was attacked and hacked to death by the activists of the ruling Awami League’s student wing, Bangladesh Chhatra League, on Dec 9 last year near Bahadur Shah Park in Old Dhaka during an Opposition-backed blockade.
The charge-sheet was submitted on Mar 5 against 21 accused, all of them Chhatra League activists of the Jagannath Univesity.
Eight of those accused are in prison, but 13 are still absconding.
Special prosecutor SM Rafiqul Islam said they had been able to establish the case and hoped the accused would get the maximum punishment.
