The Islamic University (IU) administration has formed a five-member committee to investigate the murder of Asma Sadia Runa, the social welfare department chairman who was stabbed to death in her office. Acting Registrar Prof Manjurul Haque confirmed. Other members of the committee include Prof Rashiduzzaman, Student Advisor Prof Obayedul Islam, and Lalon Shah Hall Provost Gazi Arifuzzaman Khan. A university employee, Fazlur Rahman, allegedly stabbed her and then tried to take his own life. The brutal murder was not a random act of violence but the result of a "premeditated plot" fuelled by administrative rivalry and a staff member's personal grievance, the murder case alleged.
