Students of Jahangirnagar University (JU) gathered in protest late last night (11 July), expressing outrage over the recent brutal murder of a businessman allegedly by a Jubo Dal leader and condemning the widespread culture of extortion and impunity in the country.

The demonstration, held under the banner of ‘Anti-Terrorism Unity,’ began at approximately 9:40 pm at Bot Tola on the JU campus. Hundreds of general students joined the procession, which passed through key campus points including Mawlana Bhasani Hall, Kazi Nazrul Islam Hall, Hall No. 21, Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmed Hall, Shaheed Salam Rafique Jabbar Hall, Kamal Uddin Hall, the Transport area, Shaheed Minar, and the CSE academic building.

Students chanted slogans demanding justice for the murdered businessman and called for an immediate end to extortion and political violence. They urged the authorities and the interim government to take strong and visible measures to restore public safety and ensure justice for victims of political crime.

The late-night protest concluded around 11 pm at Bot Tola with a brief press briefing. The peaceful but resolute demonstration highlighted rising anger among students and the public over the growing threat of extortion, violence, and the erosion of the rule of law across the country.
