Tonu killers still remain unidentified
Although 18 months have elapsed since the tragedy, the murder case of Comilla Victoria College student Sohagi Jahan Tonu is yet to witness any progress as the killers still remain unidentified.
Tonu, a 2nd-year student of the History department of Comilla Victoria College and member of Victoria College Theatre, was found dead in a bush beside a culvert inside Comilla Cantonment on March 20 last year.
Tonu’s father Yaar Hossain, office assistant of Comilla Cantonment Board, filed a case against some unidentified people with Kotwali Police Station the following day.
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of police is now investigating the killing, which had sparked off a huge outcry, after thana police and the Detective Branch of police.
However, the killing case is yet to see light although autopsies were carried out on the body of the college girl and the investigation agency was changed twice.
Voicing anger, Tonu’s mother Anwara Begum said she has been passing her days by taking the smells of her daughter’s clothes.
“Tonu’s father had a stroke. He is now in a severe condition. We want to see the justice before our death. I want to meet with the Prime Minister and inform her about the murder,” Anwara lamented.
CID’s senior assistant police super Jalal Uddin said the investigation body has been working to identify Tonu’s killers.
