Teachers and students at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) have taken an oath to wipe out terror activities from the campus, report agencies.

BUET Vice-Chancellor Prof Saiful Islam took part in the oath-taking programme organised by the general students at the auditorium on Wednesday. The programme was scheduled to be held at the Central Shaheed Minar in Dhaka but the venue was shifted due to bad weather.

"We will eradicate terrorism and communal forces from the campus," swore the students during the oath-taking programme.

The programme came following days of protests by the BUET students demanding death to those responsible for the grisly murder of Abrar Fahad, a second-year electrical and electronic engineering student who was bludgeoned allegedly by a group of Bangladesh Chhatra League activists on Oct 6.

Meanwhile, the process is underway to form a prosecution team to quickly receive the charge-sheet in the Abrar murder case, said Law Minister Anisul Huq on Wednesday.

The minister came up with the remark while talking to journalists after a meeting with a European Union delegation at the Bangladesh Secretariat.

Meanwhile, a Dhaka court on Wednesday placed another accused in the Abrar Fahad murder case on a five-day remand.

The accused is ASM Najmus Sadat son of Hafizur Rahman of Kalai Uttar Para in Joypurhat district and a student of Mechanical Engineering department of BUET.
