Assassination
Sujan died in a homicide - his body was found dead 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 (CID) 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, High Court overturned the lower court verdict as the state counsel failed to prove the murder charges.
