Muntasir Al Jemi, the death row convict in the murder of Abrar Fahad, a student of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), has escaped from prison. General students of the university have staged a protest march in protest of the incident.
The students took out a procession from BUET’s Shaheed Minar at around 11:30 pm on Monday. Later, the procession passed through Palashi More, VC’s quarters and met at the foot of the Raju Sculpture of Dhaka University. Later, BUET students held a press conference there.
Abrar Fahad’s brother and a student of BUET’s Mechanical Engineering Department, Abrar Fayyaz, said at the rally that when the appeal hearing was going on in the High Court since February 10, the last hearing was on Monday. Arguments were presented by 20 accused parties there. Since 3 out of the 5 accused were absconding and 1 was not provided with a lawyer, the judge asked about 1 of them. In response, the state said that he had absconded after August 5.
