Six students identified as attackers in Nahid murder

Detectives have identified six Dhaka College students who attacked and killed Nahid Hossain, a deliveryman, during the clash between students and New Market shop owners and workers, reports bdnews24.com.

All the six suspects were Dhaka College students, said Deputy Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (Media) Farook Hossain.

"Some of them wore helmets. We're working to arrest them."

The Detective Branch (DB) conducted an operation in the Dhaka College dormitories on Sunday as part of their investigation into the clash, but no students were arrested at the time.

The six initially identified are involved in Bangladesh Chhatra League politics, police say, but Deputy Commissioner Farook did not disclose their names or identities.

However, media reports based on eyewitness accounts and video footage have identified several students involved in the clashes. They are all Chhatra League activists.
