A Dhaka court yesterday granted permanent bail to Amatullah Bushra in the case filed over the death of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) student Fardin Noor Parash.

On January 8, another Dhaka court granted Bushra bail. Earlier, she was arrested following the death of Fardin.
Bushra, known as a friend of Fardin, was detained for nearly two months even though investigators from the Detective Branch (DB) of police and the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have so far found no indication that Bushra had any connection with Fardin’s death.
The decomposed body of Fardin, 24, was recovered from Shitalakshya River in Siddhirganj of Narayanganj after 3 days of disappearance on November 7, last year behind Lakshmi Narayan Cotton Mills Limited.
Deceased Fardin was a third-year student of the Civil Engineering Department of the BUET. He lived in Konapara Shanti Bagh area of Demra in the capital.
On November 9, last year, Fardin’s father Nuruddin Rana filed the case accusing Bushra with Rampura Police Station in the capital.
On November 10, the Detective Branch (DB) of police arrested Bushra from her residence of Rampura area in the capital. After over a month of investigation, the DB of police and RAB on December 14 said Fardin died by suicide jumping off a bridge into the river. A day later, DB Chief Mohammad Harun-Or-Rashid said they did not find Burshra’s involvement in the incident.
