Death of Nahid during New Market clash: 5 Dhaka College students held

Shawdesh desk:

Five students of Dhaka College have been arrested over killing of courier service staff Nahid Hassan, who was hacked to death during clashes between students and traders in the capital’s New Market area.

The arrestees are identified as Abdul Kaiyum of Accounting Department, Polash and Irfan of Social Science Department, Foysal of Bangla Department and Junayed of Islamic History department.

Hafiz Akhtar, chief of Detective Branch of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, made the disclosure in a briefing on Thursday.

Earlier on April 18 night, employees of two shops at the New Market got into a brawl, which spilled over into daylong pitched battles between Dhaka College students and shopkeepers the following day.

Nahid was attacked in front of Nur Jahan Super Market’s Khan Fashion store, just opposite Dhaka College. He died later that night at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
