Attorneys for the 13 defendants in the Beating Death Case of Abrar Fahad, a student at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), have completed the hearing. However, as the hearing for the remaining nine defendants had not ended, the court set September 9 as the new date to file the charges. Today, Wednesday, the judge of the Dhaka trial court, Abu Zafar. Kamruzzaman set the date.
Previously, 22 defendants in jail were brought before the court. Later, state attorney Mosharraf Hossain Kajal, Ehesanul Haque Samaji, and attorney Md. Abu Abdullah Bhuiyan held a hearing in favor of the charge sheet.
