DHAKA, Oct 12, 2019 (BSS) – Anik Sarkar Apu, one of the accused in the
case lodged over beating (BUET) student Abrar Fahad to death at the wee hours
of October 7, today confessed his involvement in the gruesome murder.
Investigation officer and detective branch inspector Md Wahiduzzaman
produced Anik before court and pleaded to record his statement under section
164. Allowing the plea, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Atiqul Islam recorded
Anik’s confessional statement and sent him to jail afterwards.
Another court on October 8 placed Anik and nine others on five-day
remand in the case. Of those ten accused, Ifti Mosharraf Sokal and Meftahul
Islam Jiyon already gave confessional statement before court.
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (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.
