Shawdesh Desk:

Road, Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Monday said action will be taken soon against those who are involved in the murder of BUET student Abrar Fahad.

He came up with the remark while talking to reporters at his secretariat office in the capital.

“You can’t just beat someone to death for expressing a different opinion,” he told reporters adding that: “The authorities concerned have been asked to take quick action against the killers of Abrar.”

Abrar, a second year student of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), was allegedly beaten to death by the BCL activists early Monday.

He was rushed to the Emergency Department of the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) at 6:00 am after allegedly being beaten by a group of BUET unit’s activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) in his own hall.

Later, Abrar, a residential student of BUET’s Sher-e-Bangla Hall, succumbed to his injuries.
