Faisal Arefin Dipan was the only son of well-known writer and professor of Dhaka University’s Bengali department Abul Kashem Fazlul Haque.
His 'Jagriti Prokashony' had published Avijit Roy's popular title ‘Biswaser Virus’ (Virus of Faith).
The book was a hit with rationalists and freethinkers, but it had upset the Islamist radicals, who are suspected to be involved in his murder.
Roy was murdered by machete-wielding killers on the Dhaka University campus in February this year during the Amar Ekushey Book Fair.
