Protesters to return to classes April 20
Buet students yesterday decided to return to classes from April 20 after the home ministry accepted their demand for formation of a high-profile, the ministry-incorporated probe body over the April 9 attack on Arif Raihan Dwip.
Meanwhile, law enforcers picked up a fourth year civil engineering student, Mejbah, from Dr MA Rashid Hall in connection with the attack and confiscated some books from his room in the hall, said Directorate of Students' Welfare Director Delowar Hossain.
Chawkbazar police said they did not know of any arrest.
The home minister assured the vice-chancellor of having directed high-ranking officials to take immediate steps in this regard and that investigations had begun, said a Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) press release.
No classes and exams were held since April 13 as students, accompanied by Bangladesh Chhatra League leaders, locked up the main gate on April 9 and the new academic building on April 13 protesting the attack.
Dwip, a third year student of mechanical engineering, is undergoing treatment in Square Hospital's ICU in the capital after being hacked by an unidentified man at Nazrul Islam Hall.
