In general, there is a sense of satisfaction prevailing among family members, students, followers and fans in reflection of the verdict, our local staff correspondent reports.

He also demanded that the main accused Shariful Islam, now on the run and handed death in the murder case, be arrested soon.
The students and teachers of the English Department of Rajshahi University were also present at the court premises in eager wait for the verdict delivery.
