Earlier, on January 8, Judge Tahsin Iftekhar of Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court-7 granted bail to Bushra in the case after hearing a bail petition. Bushra was in jail for around two months in the case, despite investigation agencies failing to find any evidence connecting her to her friend's death. On December 15 last year, additional commissioner (Detective Branch) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Mohammad Harunur Rashid said they would give a report to the court that Bushra has no connection with the death of Fardin. Bushra was arrested from her Banasree home in Dhaka on November 10, 2022, after Fardin’s father filed a murder case naming Bushra as an accused and several unidentified people with Rampura Police Station following recovery of his son’s body the Shitalakhkhya River on November 7. After a long 38-day investigation, the DB chief said on December 14 that Fardin roamed alone in different areas of Dhaka before he went missing. “Fardin was not murdered, he committed suicide by jumping into the river from Sultana Kamal Bridge On November 4 out of desperation,” he said. Fardin was a 3rd year student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology’s civil engineering department and a resident of Qutubpur area in Narayanganj's Fatullah.

A group of 3rd year students from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) said on Saturday that they do not have any doubt that their fellow Fardin Noor Porosh committed suicide. They said Detective Branch (DB) of police showed them enough evidence that drew the conclusion that it was suicide.

The students said that the DB police showed them enough evidence that it can only be a suicide, although they could not prove Fardin’s physical appearance on the video footage, which went viral over the social and news media recently. All the documents and evidence were virtual, they said adding that the DB police traced Fardin's location that night and checked his conversation but found nothing doubtful.

The students said the detectives told them that Fardin was going through problems like financial crisis and depression, and they showed proof for those claims from Fardin’s conversations. They said after seeing the evidence, they did not find any more logical questions and clues to ask for as the detectives answered all the questions in the DB office. The students said that based on the evidence of the DB police, the BUET students collectively reached the decision that it was a suicide, and they are not going to hold any rally or programme regarding Fardin’s death. They said they would stand by Fardin's family if they take any legal and logical step in this regard.
