DU student rape case: Nur, 4 others relieved of charges

A Dhaka tribunal on Wednesday relieved former Ducsu VP Nurul Haque Nur and four others from charges of a case filed over rape of a Dhaka University student.

The four are Nazmul Hasan Sohag and Saiful Islam, joint conveners of Chhatra Odhikar Parishad; Nazmul Huda, former VP of its DU unit and Abdullah Hil Baki, a DU student.

On September 20 last year, a DU student filed the case with Lalbagh Police Station, accusing six persons, including Chhatra Odhikar Parishad's former convener Hasan Al Mamun, of rape, abetting rape and shaming her on social media.

In the case, Mamun is now behind bars.
