The demonstrations officially came to an end on October 16, but the students will continue to boycott all classes and examinations in Buet. Several protesting students told The Business Standard that the administration has fulfilled only two of their ten-point demands as yet.  

Abrar, a second-year student of electrical and electronic engineering department of Buet, was beaten to death allegedly by some Chhatra League men at a dormitory of the university in early hours of October 7.
