ATTACK ON ZAFAR IQBAL No arrest yet after Fayzul

Law-enforcers were yet to show arrested anyone except for prime suspect Fayzul Hasan alias Shafiq till Wednesday evening in the case for attacking popular writer Muhammed Zafar Iqbal, though six people, including Fayzul’s parents, were detained after the incident.
They could not find Fayzul’s involvement with any extremist group yet, the law-enforcers said. 
Zafar Iqbal, also computer science and engineering professor at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, was stabbed on Saturday evening when he was inspecting projects displayed in a robotic competition on the campus as part of a two-day festival of electrical and electronics engineering students. 
The students chased and caught the 24-year-old attacker Fayzul immediately after the incident and handed him over to police. 
Fayzul was an employee of a computer shop at Jallarpar in Sylhet city and had been living with his parents at Sheikhpara near Kumargaon Bus Terminal in the city.
The law-enforcers arrested his maternal uncle Fayzur Rahman from their Sheikhpara house and his paternal uncle Abdul Kahar Lulai from their ancestral home of Kaliakapan village of Jagdal union under Derai in Sunamganj early Sunday to interrogate them. 
His father Hafiz Atiqur Rahman, a teacher of a women’s madrassah near Sheikhpara, and mother Minara Begum were also detained Sunday night after they surrendered to Jalalabad police station.
A joint team of law-enforcers also picked up a SUST security guard, Khalequzzaman, from the campus Tuesday afternoon for interrogation. 
A mechanical shop owner, Zahidul Islam, was also detained Tuesday evening after the law-enforcers seized the bicycle on which Fayzul had entered the campus on the day of the attack, from the shop adjacent to the campus, members of the joint interrogation team said.
On Sunday morning, SUST registrar Ishfaqul Hossain filed a case with Jalalabad police against Fayzul and four unidentified people for stabbing Zafar Iqbal. 
Investigation officer of the case, Shafiqur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Jalalabad police, told New Age Wednesday evening that the investigation was going on and none of the detained was shown arrested so far. 
Sylhet metropolitan police additional deputy commissioner Abdul Wahab said that Fayzur could not be produced before the metropolitan magistrate court as he was undergoing treatment at Sylhet Osmani Medical College Hospital. 
SUST vice-chancellor Farid Uddin Ahmed alleged Wednesday morning that there was slight lacking in security measures on the campus when professor Zafar was attacked.
‘Steps have already been taken to ensure all-out security on the campus and all possible measures would be taken in this regard,’ he added. 
The VC made the comment responding to journalists after attending a mass-signature campaign arranged by the university teachers’ association in front of the library building to press for immediate arrest of the masterminds behind the attack and exemplary punishments for them through speedy trial. 
The university students and cultural activists brought out silent processions, held rallies and staged a street drama on the campus on Wednesday.
SMP commissioner Golam Kibria told journalists that they had come to know from where Fayzul got the knife to attack Zafar Iqbal.
