Pro-ruling party men, students, teachers sued in another case

Another case has been filed in connection with the April 16 murder of two students of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU) at the campus. 

Golam Mostafa, father of Md Zakaria, one of the two victims, filed the case with the Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court in Dinajpur on Tuesday afternoon, accusing 38 named people including Abu Ibne Razob, president of Dinajpur district unit of Swechchhasebak League, several BCL activists and HSTU students, and three HSTU teachers including Proctor ATM Shafiqul Islam. 

Nazmul Hossain, judge of the court, ordered police to file their report with that of an earlier case filed on April 21.  

"The accused led by Abu Ibne Razob entered the HSTU campus on April 16 night to prevent a demonstration of an anti vice chancellor movement led by BCL HSTU unit leaders Iftekharul Islam Real and Arun Kanti Roy. In a planned way, they attacked Md Zakaria and Mahmudul Hasan Milton and stabbed them to death," Golam Mostafa mentioned in his case.

On April 21, family members of Mahmudul Hasan Milton filed a murder case with the court, accusing 42 people including ruling party activists, the HSTU vice chancellor and the proctor. 

On April 22, Proctor ATM Shafiqul Islam filed a case with Dinajpur Police Station, accusing 37 people including Iftekharul Islam Real and Arun Kanti Roy, HSTU unit president and secretary of BCL respectively, in connection with the murder of two HSTU students. 

The three cases filed in connection with the HSTU double murder incident will be merged together, police said.   

Meanwhile, Razob said implicating him in Tuesday's case was a politically motivated act. 

HSTU students Md Zakaria and Mahmudul Hasan Milton were killed during a factional clash of BCL at the university on April 16.
