Jagannath University students demonstrated near their campus today protesting the murder of their fellow who was killed in a gun-machette attack last night.

Topon Kumar Saha, officer-in-charge of Dhaka’s Sutrapur Police Station, told the The Daily Star agitating students had burned tyres on the road.

No case was filed in this regard up until now and no one arrested.

Nazimuddin Samad, 26, a law student of Jagannath University, was stabbed and shot in Hrishikesh Das Lane in Old Dhaka last night. The injuries bore similarities to recent blogger killings.

A classmate, who was a witness to the incident, said a group of four to five assailants came near them in guise of bystanders and melted into the crowd after the attack.
