The tribunal asked its investigation agency and the prosecution to implement the order.
On the same day, Additional Superintendent of Police Sachin Mollick, arrested in the case and currently suspended, was produced before the tribunal.
Nafiz was enrolled in Class XI at the college. He joined the protests with the national flag tied on his head. A rickshaw-puller tried to take Nafiz, who was already shot, to the hospital, but Nafiz died on the way.
In another case, the tribunal directed investigators to complete their probe by 12 October into the killing of Wasim in Chattogram, which names former MP Fazle Karim Chowdhury and 15 others as accused.
