The murder case of Abu Sayed, who was killed by police firing during the student movement against聽 discrimination, was transferred to the Police Bureau of Investigation on Monday.
Confirming the matter, superintendent of police ABM Zakir Hossain told 抖阴精品 that the case was transferred following an order from the Police Headquarters on Monday.
鈥楾he document is being prepared for handing it over to the PBI from the Tajhat police station,鈥� he said.
The investigation will be done impartially and properly, he added.聽
Earlier, the Rangpur police filed the case claiming that the death of Abu Sayed was caused by the gunfire from the protesters and that he was not a victim of police firing.
Video footage, however, showed the police shooting at Abu Sayed, who posed no physical threat to law enforcers, during the quota reform demonstration near the university on July 16.
The incident angered people across the country.
A photo of Sayed taken before he was shot went viral on social media platforms where he was seen braving the police action with his hands up and holding a stick in his right hand.
Tajhat police sub-inspector Bibhuti Bhusan Ray, also the in-charge of the police camp on the Begum Rokeya University campus, filed a case with the police station over Sayed鈥檚 death and mayhem on the campus on July 16.
According to the case鈥檚 first information report, the demonstrators fired shots and threw chunks of bricks from different directions.
At one stage, a student was seen falling to the ground, and his classmates took Sayed, 23, to Rangpur Medical College Hospital, where the physician declared him dead.
The case accused 2,000鈥�3,000 unidentified people, including Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir activists of the killing and violence.
Razibul Islam, head of the forensic medicine department at Rangpur Medical College Hospital, who conducted the post-mortem examination of Abu Sayed鈥檚 body, said that his body bore marks of rubber bullet injuries and there was also an injury mark in the left parietal region of his head.
Razibul Islam also said that Sayeed died of internal haemorrhage.
On July 16, Abu Sayed, a 12th batch student of the English department at Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur and a coordinator of Student Movement Against Discrimination, was the first student killed in police firing as the police and the Awami League-backed student organisation Bangladesh Chhatra League clashed with quota reform student protesters in front of the main entrance to the university.
