Md Jainal Abedin Mizbah, 24, son of Jamal Uddin and also a student of the university’s Law department, was killed after he was hit in the groin by his cousins during a feud at their house in Amirabad area Lohagara upazila on July 19.
Police sources said following an altercation over selecting panjabi and lungi that were being gifted by Mizbah’s uncle for Eid, the student’s cousin Arman had hit his groin after which he was taken to Chittagong Medical College Hospital.

The private university’s students made the demand forming a human chain under the banner of BGC Trust University General Students Parishad in front of the Law faculty building in Prabartak intersection area of the city around 12pm.

No one has been arrested since the murder, he added.
