The court has set November 28 to pronounce the verdict in Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) sophomore Abrar Fahad killing case.
Judge Abu Zafar Md. Kamruzzaman of Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal-1 fixed the date on Sunday (November 14) following arguments of the state and defence.
22 accused of the case were produced before the court this morning. Three more accused Mustaba Rafid, Muhammad Morshed-uz-Zaman Mandal alias Jishan and Ehtashamul Rabbi Tanim are absconding.
