Abrar murder: HC to deliver verdict today

The High Court is set to deliver its verdict today on the death references and appeals of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) student Abrar Fahad murder case.

The HC bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice Syed Enayet Hossain will announce the verdict.

According to the website of the Supreme Court, the death references and appeals have been included as item No. 1 in Sunday's cause list.

On October 7, 2019, Abrar was beaten to death by leaders and activists of the then-BUET unit of the BCL reportedly over his posts on Facebook criticising the government’s deals with India. The killing sparked nationwide protests.
