Marking the day, Bangladesh Chhatra Union (BCU), Bangaldesh Chhatra Moitri and Bangladesh Chhatra League (JSD) paid tribute to the memory of Shaheed Raju by placing wreaths on the anti-terrorism Raju sculpture in front of TSC of the university in the morning.
Later, they also placed wreaths on the grave of Raju at Mirpur Intellectuals' Graveyard in the city under the banner of Progressive Students' Alliance (PSA), a platform of six left-leaning student organisations.
A mourning rally and a Shaheed Raju memorial lecture were also held on the campus at noon commemorating the martyrdom of Raju.
On March 13 in 1992, DU student Raju was killed in terrorists' firing in a procession against tender manipulation by pro-BNP Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and Awami League-backed Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL).
