The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court will take the charge sheet into cognizance on Wednesday, Moksedul Alam, recording officer of CMM court, told the Dhaka Tribune.
Eight suspects, including Ansar Ullah Bangla Team chief Mufti Jasim Uddin Rahmania and six students of North South University, have been made accused in the charge sheet.

Two weeks into the killing, DB personnel arrested five students of the NSU from the capital’s Khilgaon, Kakrail and Panthapath.
After the arrest, the detained NSU students confessed that they had killed Rajeeb under the directives of Mufti Jasim Uddin Rahmania.
Rajeeb Haider, who was one of the activists in the Ganojagaran Mancha, was hacked to death by the criminals near his residence in the capital’s Pallabi on February 15 last year.
Ganojagaran Mancha began on February 5 hours after war criminal Quader Mollah was sentenced to life imprisonment.
