Three people have been arrested in connection with lynching a suspected thief at the Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall of Dhaka University (DU) on Wednesday night.

DU Proctor Professor Dr Saifuddin Ahmad confirmed about the arrest.

He said three students were arrested in connection with the incident of murder. The arrested are Jalal Ahmed, former Science and Technology secretary of the Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall and a student of the Department of Physics; Mohammad Sumon, a student of the Department of Soil, Water and Environment; and Mottakin Sakin, a student of the Department of Nutrition and Food Science Institute.

"We hope that the law enforcers will arrest the rest of the suspects soon," Professor Dr Saifuddin Ahmad said.

The proctor said those three students were arrested as primary evidence of beating Tofazzal was found against them.

Earlier, being the plaintiff, Dhaka University Estate superviser Amanullah filed a case with Shahbagh Police Station regarding Tofazzal murder.

Besides, the hall administration formed an inquiry committee. The committee was asked to submit inquiry report by 6:00pm on Thursday. The incident took place at the Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall.

The deceased, identified as Tofazzal from Barisal, was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where doctors declared him dead.

Witnesses said that students caught Tofazzal around 8:30-9:00pm, suspecting him of theft. He was beaten multiple times in the hall's guestroom until 10:00pm.

At one point, he was even fed at the university canteen before being assaulted again. His condition worsened after prolonged interrogation, and he was taken to the hospital around midnight, where he was pronounced dead.
