BUET's students' welfare advisor Delwar Hossain has confirmed the detainees are students of the university.
Earlier in the morning, police said they arrested 21 suspected militants from Star Hotel in Wari on Thursday night after being tipped off that a group of militants were holding a secret meeting there.
Wari police OC Tapan Chandra Saha said they had raided the hotel where a group of 72 men, most of whom BUET students, were meeting.
He said 51 of them were handed over to the university authorities and the rest were taken to Wari Police Station.
BUET Registrar AKM Masud said police contacted them at night over the matter. Newly appointed Computer Science and Engineering teacher 'Nayem', who was sent to the police station, brought back 51 students.
Wari police Sub Inspector Ilias Sharif said 11 of the 21 detained after primary quizzing had admitted they were BUET students. Three of them are former students and the rest are students of Salimullah Medical College, BRAC University, Stamford University and Notre Dame College.
Ten of these 21 detained were released in the afternoon after signing bonds as they were not involved with any acts of violence, OC Saha said.
The rest 11 were taken to the detective police office for interrogations.
However, detective police Sub-Inspector Jahangir Hossain told bdnews24.com that he had received 10 accused and got one day’s remand.
Police suspect these students are involved with militant organisations.
"We suspect they are Islamic extremists," Deputy Commissioner Ilias Sharif said.
