On Monday night, activists of the Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal detained and handed over a banned Chhatra League member named Aritra to Rajshahi's Motihar police station. He was apprehended near the university’s main gate. Aritra is a second-year student of the Botany Department and a known associate of Asadullah Hil Galib, the General Secretary of Chhatra League’s RU unit. He had reportedly gone into hiding and stopped attending classes following the recent mass uprising.
