The arrestees are: Ashraful Islam, 23, Wahidduzzaman Nishan, 21, Ziual Haider Chowdhury, 22, SM Golam Mostafa, 22 and Tamim-ul-Alam, 24.

They were arrested after police identified them and seven others from CCTV footage collected from the university area, said Mohammad Mainuddin, assistant commissioner (Kotwali) of Chittagong Metropolitan Police.

All the arrestees are students of the university, our Chittagong correspondent reports quoting Aziz Ahmed, officer-in-charge of Chawk Bazar Police Station.
