Hundreds of students and teachers from different educational institutions in Savar formed a human chain at Savar Bus Stand area demanding capital punishment of the killer of college teacher Utpal on Thursday.
Later, a delegation of teachers submitted a memorandum to Savar Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Mazharul Islam with several demands including capital punishment of suspected killer Jitu.
Jitu beat up Utpal indiscriminately with a cricket stump on Saturday, leaving the latter critically injured. Utpal died at Savar Enam Medical College Hospital the next day while undergoing treatment.
The deceased’s family logged a complaint with Ashulia police station against Jitu. Jitu’s family fled the area after filing of the case.
A team of Rab-1 arrested Jitu from Gazipur’s Sreepur and his father was arrested from Kushtia’s Kumarkhali on Wednesday.
