Begum Rokeya University student Abu Sayed did not die in the shooting, according to the autopsy report.

The recently published autopsy report says that Abu Saeed died of a head injury - not a gunshot wound.

Video footage shows police shooting at Begum Rokeya University student Abu Sayed, who posed no physical threat to the law enforcers, during the quota reform protest near the campus on July 16.

He died soon afterwards.

But the First Information Report (FIR) filed by police says Sayed was not a victim of police firing.

"The protesters fired weapons and threw chunks of bricks from different directions, and at one stage, a student was seen falling to the ground," reads the report, adding that classmates took Sayed, 23, to Rangpur Medical College Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead.
