TONU MURDER : CID continues interrogating suspects

The Criminal Investigation Department officials said they were interrogating a number of new people and analysing the physical evidence related to the investigation into the killing of Comilla Victoria College student Sohagi Jahan
Tonu.
To this end, a CID team on Friday interrogated at least five people over the killing.
The CID team, headed by Dhaka special superintendent Abdul Kahar Akand, told New Age at 10:45pm that they were interrogating new people for their ‘suspicious’ behaviour during and after the murder.
Earlier, the CID took the five people, including Tonu’s elder brother Nazmul Hossain, cousin Laiju Jahan, her friend Manisha and Ismail Hossain, an employee of cantonment board, to Comilla CID office around 8:30am. The team members recorded the statements of the five till 11am.
Earlier on Thursday, the team interrogated five army personnel at their office from 4:30pm to 1:30am.
Nazmul Karim Khan, SP of Comilla CID, told journalists the CID teams would continue to interrogate both civil and army persons, whenever necessary, in connection with the death.
Tonu, 19, a second year history student of Comilla Victoria College and a theatre activist, went missing on March 20 after going out of her house at Comilla Mainamati Cantonment.
Tonu’s father Yar Hossain found her lying in a bushy area at the cantonment and she was declared dead when rushed to the Combined Military Hospital.
The murder case was shifted to the CID on March 29 to expedite its probe.
Later, a six-member probe committee, headed by Dhaka senior police super Abdul Kahhar Akand, was formed on March 30 to assist the investigation.
Ganajagaran Mancha spokesperson Imran H Sarker said online activist Nazimuddin Samad has been murdered to hush-up the protests at the killing of Tonu.
He declared a March towards the national parliament from Shahbagh intersection on May 5 demanding justice for Tonu.
Imran made the announcement from a ‘protest solidarity rally’ held in front of National Museum in the capital Friday afternoon to protest at the recent spate of killing, rape and looting incidents in the country.
The Parliament March will start from the Shahbagh projonmo chhattar on May 5 through a mass signature campaign which began across the country in April to press home their four-point demand, including capital punishment of the killers of Tonu, and introducing death penalty for rapists, instead of life-term imprisonment
