The convict was absconding since Biswajit was murdered in broad daylight by Bangladesh Chhatra League activists on December 9, 2012.

Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal-4 sentenced eight accused to death and 13 to life in 2013.

On August 6, 2017, the High Court upheld the death penalty of two of the eight death-row convicts, reduced the death sentence of four to life imprisonment, and acquitted two others.
