The students of Islamic University have expressed their growing concern over the progress of the ongoing investigation into their fellow Sajid Abdullah鈥檚 death as the investigation
committee has yet to get information vital for the probe.
Professor Amtaj Hossain, convener of the committee, formed to probe the circumstances of Sajid鈥檚 death two weeks ago, confirmed to 抖阴精品 on Thursday night that the delay in receiving vital forensic and digital evidence was hampering the investigation.
He said that they had yet not received the viscera report from the authorities concerned and data from Sajid鈥檚 social media accounts.
Sajid, a student of the Al-Quran and Islamic Studies department, was found dead in a pond near Shah Azizur Rahman Hall on July 17.
The university administration formed a three-member investigation committee on July 18 and instructed it to submit a report within ten working days. The deadline expires today.
鈥榃e have already collected the inquest report, post-mortem report, Sajid鈥檚 call list, and footage from several CCTV cameras,鈥� said Professor Amtaj Hossain.
Interviews of several students have been conducted and are being cross-verified,鈥� said Professor Hossain, adding, 鈥榟owever, the viscera report and digital communication
records are still pending, which is affecting the investigation.鈥�
Students of different departments of the university questioned the slow pace of the probe.聽
On Tuesday last, they staged a demonstration in front of the administrative building, demanding immediate publication of the investigation report and justice for Sajid.
Campus sources said that Sajid鈥檚 mobile phone was sent to Dhaka for forensic analysis to retrieve chat history and other relevant data.
University police officer-in-charge Mehedi Hasan told 抖阴精品 that no update had yet been received from the forensic authorities.
The incident drew further attention when Sajid鈥檚 classmate Insanul Imam, one of the three students who reportedly tried to call Sajid during the 26 hours prior to the recovery of his body, claimed in a Facebook post on July 23 that his phone had been hacked and Sajid-related data was deleted.
Students have warned that continued delay in the probe report would lead to further unrest on campus.
