Earlier, on September 22 last, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Atikul Islam set the date of passing the order on December 22 as the plaintiff of the case Jananetri Parishad President AB Siddiqui pleaded for issuing arrest warrant for the three accused. According to the case statement, two students of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College were killed as a speedy bus ran over them in front of their college on July 29, 2018. After the incident, students of different colleges and schools started agitation across the capital, which later spread across the country.
The plaintiff alleged that the accused BNP leaders directed their followers to capitalise the student movement and carry out anarchy in the name of agitation. On August 6, 2018, AB Siddiqui filed the case against the trio.
