An alleged activist of Islami Chhatra Shibir was detained in Bangladesh in connection with the murder of Rajshahi University professor AFM Rezaul Karim Siddiquee.

Hafizur Rahman was detained from a Shibir dominated student mess at Chhoto Bongram in Rajshahi city, the Daily Star quoted Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP) Commissioner Md Shamsuddin as saying.

Shamsuddin said Hafizur is a student of the university's Public Administration department, adding the murder case has been handed over to the detective branch.

The Rajshahi University professor was brutally murdered in the city's Shalbagan area yesterday in an attack that the police say bears the hallmark of the previous blogger killings.
