In the same case, the tribunal has directed authorities to publish a notice in two national newspapers within seven days, summoning 24 accused — including fugitive former Rokeya University Vice-Chancellor Hasibur Rahman — to surrender.
Previously, four accused—former SI Amir Hossain, constable Sujan Chandra Roy, university proctor Shariful Islam, and Chhatra League activist Imran Chowdhury Akash — were presented before the tribunal.
The tribunal had earlier accepted charges in the case on 30 June and issued arrest warrants for 26 individuals, including former VC Hasibur, based on evidence against 30 people.
