Another JU student arrested

Police yesterday arrested another student of Jahangirnagar University (JU) for his alleged involvement in the Zubair murder case.
Zahidul Hasan, a fourth year student of zoology department, was arrested from the premises of the university's administrative building.
“We arrested Zahidul on the basis of information given by three other arrestees”, said Badrul Alam, officer-in-charge of Ashulia Police Station.
Earlier, the police arrested three other students in connection with the killing of Zubair Ahmed, a fourth year English department student, who was beaten to death by a group of Bangladesh Chhatra League activists on January 9.
The agitating students of the university, on the other hand, brought out a procession and held a rally demanding the publication of the report of the probe committee formed to investigate the murder within January 26.
Meanwhile, Vice Chancellor Prof Shariff Enamul Kabir at a freshers' reception programme on the campus yesterday claimed that there was no Chhatra League group loyal to him; rather it was a propaganda against him to tarnish his image.
After the murder of Zubair, a section of teachers and students claimed that Prof Shariff nurtures a faction of Bangladesh Chhatra League that often get involved in various illegal activities.
