The murder case of Jagannath University student and branch Chhatra Dal convening committee member Jubayed Hossain has been transferred to the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court after becoming ready for trial. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nazmin Akter issued the transfer order on Wednesday, August 12. A hearing on framing charges has been scheduled for September 13, according to prosecution division SI Kamal Hossain.

Jubayed was killed on October 19 last year while going to tutor a female student in Armanitola, Old Dhaka.
