July Attempted Murder Case, Former Begum Rokeya University Vice-Chancellor Kalimullah has sought to be shown arrested in the July attempted murder case

Police have sought to show former Vice-Chancellor of Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur, Nazmul Ahsan Kalimullah, arrested in a case filed over the attempted murder of Mustain Billah Sabbir during the July movement.

The application was submitted on 28 July by Sub-Inspector Md Abu Sayeed, the investigating officer of the case and a member of Uttara West Police Station.

Following the application, the court of Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Md Zakir Hossain scheduled Thursday for the hearing, according to sources in the Dhaka Metropolitan Prosecution Division.

Earlier, on 27 July, Kalimullah submitted a bail bond in a case concerning the alleged embezzlement of funds allocated for development projects at Begum Rokeya University. He secured bail after furnishing a Tk 100,000 bond and depositing his passport with the court.

On 7 August 2025, detectives from the Dhaka Metropolitan Police arrested Kalimullah from his residence in Mohammadpur. His bail petition was rejected the same day, and the court ordered him to be sent to jail. He has remained in custody since then.
