Detective police have pressed charges against seven suspects, all identified as “drug dealers”, in the murder case of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal leader SM Shahriar Alam Shammo. Confirming the submission on Friday, officer Morshed said seven suspects have been charged, while four others were recommended for discharge due to “lack of evidence”. Those named in the chargesheet are Mehedi Hasan, Md Rabbi alias Kobutor Rabbi, Md Ripon alias Akash, Nahid Hasan Papel, Md Hridoy Islam, Md Harunur Rashid Sohag alias Lombu Sohag, and Md Robin. Around midnight, his friends took him to the emergency unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. On May 17, a Dhaka court placed the three on a six-day remand, followed by another five-day remand on May 24.
