Three people have been arrested in connection with lynching a suspected thief at the Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall of Dhaka University (DU) on Wednesday night. DU Proctor Professor Dr Saifuddin Ahmad confirmed about the arrest. He said three people have already been arrested in connection with the incident.
Of them, one is Jalal who is Hall Chhatra League's former Science and Technology secretary. Drives are going on to nab rest of the culprits. "We hope that the law enforcers will arrest the rest of the suspects soon," he said.
The incident took place at the Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall. The deceased, identified as Tofazzal from Barisal, was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where doctors declared him dead. Witnesses said that students caught Tofazzal around 8:30-9:00pm, suspecting him of theft.
He was beaten multiple times in the hall's guestroom until 10:00pm. At one point, he was even fed at the university canteen before being assaulted again. His condition worsened after prolonged interrogation, and he was taken to the hospital around midnight, where he was pronounced dead.
