Abrar, a second-year electrical and electronic engineering student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet), was beaten to death, reportedly by Chhatra League activists at the university's Sher-e-Bangla Hall on October 7.
His murder triggered protests at the top engineering university and brought academic activities to a grinding halt.
University VC Saiful Islam later acceded to the protesters' demands and banned organisational politics, among others, on the campus.
After his murder, Abrar's father, Barkatullah, filed the case with Chawkbazar Police Station in the capital; accusing 19 people.
So far, 20 people have been arrested in connection with the murder.
