"A police team was patrolling the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology area till 3am on the night of the incident but they did not hear any suspicious sound at that time," said the CTTC Chief.
Monirul Islam came up with the remark while addressing a press conference at the DMP Media Centre today.
He said Abrar Fahad, a second-year student of electrical and electronics engineering department of Buet, was beaten to death by some Chhatra League activists on October 7 for his alleged involvement with Islami Chhatra Shibir politics.
