"Our demands are permanent expulsion of the accused from university and immediately arrest," Hossain added.
On December 14, 2014, Taposh Sarkar, a first year student of the Department of Sanskrit, was shot dead in front of Shah Amanat hall during a clash between two factions of CU Chhatra League. Taposh was also a Chhatra League activist.
Two days later, Taposh's friend Hafizul Islam filed a murder case with Hathazari police station naming 30 Chhatra League activists and around 10-15 unnamed people. The case is under ongoing process.
