A Dhaka court has accepted the charge sheet against 28 accused in the case over the fatal beating of Tofazzal Hossain, a mentally unstable man, at Dhaka University’s Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall. On March 10, 2026, Metropolitan Magistrate Jewel Rana issued arrest warrants for 22 fugitives while taking cognizance of the charges. Among the accused, four are in jail, two are on bail, and the rest remain absconding.
The incident occurred on September 18, 2024, when Tofazzal was beaten to death by students who suspected him of theft. The following day, a case was filed at Shahbagh Police Station by a university estate office supervisor. After initial investigation and dissatisfaction from the university administration, the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) was ordered to reinvestigate. PBI later submitted a new charge sheet on December 15, 2025, naming 28 individuals, including seven new suspects.
The court’s latest order advances the legal process against those accused in the killing, with further proceedings expected following the execution of the arrest warrants.
