DHAKA, Jan 5, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today sentenced three people to death in a case lodged over murder of European University of Bangladesh student Ismail Hossain Jisan.

Dhaka 5th Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Farjana Yasmin pronounced the judgment in presence of the two convicts - Hasibul Hossain alias Hasib and Abdullah Al Noman. Another convict Shrabon alias Shaon is still at large and the court today also issued arrest warrant against him.

The court also acquitted accused Sajani Akter as the charges framed against her were not proved by the prosecution.

According to the case documents, Jisan, a student of Civil Engineering Department of the university, used to work as a Pathao rider apart from his study. He went missing from Shyamoli in the capital on May 12, 2019. His father Sabbir Hossain Sahid filed a general diary with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.

Jisan's almost decomposed body was recovered from the septic tank of the house of Hasibul Hossain in Moddho Kamar Juri under Gacha Police Station in Gazipur on May 23, 2019.

Jisan's father filed the case on that day with the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station. Police on January 12, 2020, filed charge sheet against four. The court on March 30, 2022, framed charges in the case and initiated the trial officially.

The court today came up with the judgment, examining 18 out of the total 25 witnesses on different hearing dates.
