By Sabuj Mia, A Student, London


A Dhaka court yesterday sent 10 students of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) to jail after rejecting their bails in connection with “plotting subversive activities”

. The court passed the order after the students had been produced before it on the expiry of their one-day remand.
The defence lawyers submitted separate petitions seeking bails for the arrested saying that they were implicated in it over conspiracy.
On Thursday night, based on information about a suspicious gathering, police had detained 72 people at a restaurant on BCC Road in the capital’s Wari area.
Of them, 60 Buet students, 11 students of different private universities and a Buet teacher, police sources said.
However, 62 people except the Buet students were released on Friday
