Shahjahan Hawlader Sujan

Shahjahan Hawlader Sujan was a Bangladesh Nationalist Party politician and a Jatiya Sangsad member from the Brahmanbaria-6 constituency, winning by-election in 1994 and general election in February 1996. He served as the vice president of Haji Mohammad Mohsin Hall Students Union of the University of Dhaka. He was assassinated in 2001.

Kidnapping and death

Sujan's body was found near the Doel Square at the University of Dhaka campus on 3 July 2001, five days after his abduction near Jonaki Cinema Hall in Dhaka. In 2003, the Criminal Investigation Department pressed charges against local BNP party member Kajol Ahmed Jalali and 11 others in the murder case. In March 2004, Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal sentenced Jalali to death and four others to life imprisonment. In March 2007, the High Court overturned the lower court verdict as the state counsel failed to prove the murder charges.
