Kidnapping and death

edit

Sujan's body was found near the Doel Square at the University of Dhaka campus on 3 July 2001, five days after his abduction near Jonaki Cinema Hall in Dhaka.[4][5] In 2003, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) pressed charges against local BNP party member Kajol Ahmed Jalali and 11 others in the murder case.[4] In March 2004, Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal sentenced Jalali to death and four others to life imprisonment.[6][7] In March 2007, the High Court overturned the lower court verdict as the state counsel failed to prove the murder charges.[5]
