BUET campus witnessed late-night protests after reports emerged that Muntasir Al Zemi, a convicted death row inmate for the brutal murder of BUET student Abrar Fahad, had escaped from his prison's condemned cell. At 11:30 PM on Monday, students marched from the Shaheed Minar to Raju Memorial, demanding Zemi's immediate arrest and execution. Abrar’s brother, Abrar Faiyaz, revealed that they learned of Zemi’s escape during a High Court hearing that day. He accused the authorities of hiding the escape since August 5 and claimed that the government deliberately withheld the information.
