Abrar Murder: Home minister slams Buet administration
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal yesterday said incidents like Abrar murder might not have occurred had the Buet administration been a more careful.
He came up with the remark while replying to reporters’ questions after inaugurating the newly-built main entrance of Bangladesh University of Textiles -- commonly referred to as BUTEX -- in the city’s Tejgaon area.
The home minister hoped that the administration will pay more attention to students in future.
Abrar, 21, a second-year student of electrical and electronic engineering department, was beaten to death on Monday, reportedly by Chhatra League leaders at Buet’s Sher-e-Bangla Hall.
Responding to another question, the home minister said almost all perpetrators involved in the killing have been identified and arrested.
Abrar’s father Barkatullah filed a case with Chawkbazar Police station on Monday evening accusing 19 people. Police have arrested 17 suspects and one of them has confessed to his crimes.
The case was transferred to the Detective Branch on Tuesday.
