Rajshahi University (RU) remained tense on Sunday following the gruesome murder of its professor AKM Shafiul Islam Nilon by some unknown miscreants on Saturday afternoon. Teachers were boycotting classes and examinations on Sunday demanding immediate arrest of the killers of Prof Shafiul Islam of the Department of Sociology. Mostafizur Rahman, a professor of the same department, said Shafiul Islam was going to University Housing Society when the miscreants swooped on him and chopped him indiscriminately with sharp weapons. Critically injured Shafiul was rushed to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH) where he succumbed to the injuries around 4:30pm, according to a news agency.
