Adviser Asif Mahmud wrote in a statement that Shahriar Samyo was a familiar face in all student movements for just causes since 2019. “From his first year, Samyo was a gentle soul who stood against injustice,” he said. Three suspects have so far been arrested. Asif emphasized that beyond individuals, crime rings and the unsafe environment of Suhrawardy Udyan must also be held accountable. “The park was supposed to be a place of peace, but illegal shops and drug activities turned it into a danger zone. We’re working with DU, the Public Works Ministry, and the police to restore safety,” he added.
