DHAKA, Oct 11, 2019 (BSS) – Meftahul Islam Jiyon, one of the accused in
the case lodged over beating Bangladesh University of Engineering and
Technology (BUET) student Abrar Fahad to death at the wee hour of October 7,
today confessed his involvement in the gruesome murder.
Investigation officer and detective branch inspector Md Wahiduzzaman
produced Jiyon before court and pleaded to record his statement under section
164. Allowing the plea, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sorafuzzaman Ansari
recorded Jiyon’s confessional statement and sent him to jail afterwards.
Another court on October 8 placed Jiyon and nine others on five-day
remand in the case. Of those ten accused, Ifti Mosharraf Sokal already gave
confessional statement before court on October 10.
BUET students and the varsity authorities found Abrar, 22, in critical
condition from first-floor stairs of Sher-e-Bangla Hall and rushed him to
Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where doctors declared him dead at
around 6.30 am.
Abrar’s father filed the case with Chawkbazar Police Station against 19
people.
