Abrar murder: Chhatra League expels Amit Saha

Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on Monday expelled its BUET unit leader Amit Saha for his involvement in the murder of Abrar Fahad, reports UNB.

BCL is the student wing of Awami League.

He was not presented at the spot during the 7 October incident, the student body noted. “But was involved with it (albeit indirectly) through the social media.”

“Amit Saha is hereby expelled permanently from Chhatra League as charges against him were proven during further investigation,” acting BCL president Al Nahean Khan Joy and acting general secretary Lekhok Bhattacharjee said in the press release.

Amit, deputy law secretary of Chhatra League’s BUET unit and a civil engineering student, was arrested on 10 October in connection with Abrar’s killing.

Abrar, a second-year student of electrical and electronic engineering, was beaten to death allegedly by Chhatra League leaders of the university’s Sher-e-Bangla Hall unit on 7 October.
