Anwar Hossain Ujjal, the prime accused in the murder of Rajshahi University Professor A K M Shafiul Islam, surrendered before a local court here on Wednesday over a year after evading arrest.
Ujjal, a Jubo Dal worker and the prime suspect in the case, was sent to jail upon his surrender, reports the Daily Star.
Abul Hashem, the court's inspector, said that Rajshahi Magistrate Court Judge Maksuda Azgar passed the order after Ujjal surrendered before the court and pleaded for bail.
Professor Shafiul Islam was hacked to death in front of his house in November 15, 2014. Eleven people were charged for his murder, and on December 18 last year, charges were framed in the case.
