TONU MURDER: CID quizzes first autopsy doctor again

Members of the Criminal Investigation Department again on Tuesday interrogated the doctor of Comilla Medical College Hospital who conducted the first autopsy on murdered college student Sohagi Jahan Tonu.
The CID team led by Dhaka senior police super Abdul Kahhar Akand visited the Comilla Mainamati cantonment area and interrogated Sharmin Sultana at the CID office in Comilla. Earlier on April 10 the CID investigators interrogated her for the first time.
Tonu, 19, a second year history student of Comilla Victoria College and a member of Victoria College Theatre, went missing on March 20, hours after she had gone out of her house at Comilla Mainamati Cantonment for work.
Later, Tonu’s father Yaar Hossain found his daughter lying senseless with severe injuries in her body in a bush adjacent to their house.
She was then taken to Combined Military Hospital where doctors declared her dead.
After the first autopsy was criticised for failing to find any conclusive information for the cause of death of Tonu, the Court ordered her body exhumed for a second postmortem.
Meanwhile, the Sammilita Sanskritik Jote on Tuesday began a five-day demonstration and cultural rally at the central Shaheed Minar in the city, demanding justice for Tonu, reported our Dhaka University correspondent.
Cultural personalities expressed deep dissatisfaction with the government and law enforcers as the killers of Tonu have not been arrested one month since her murder.
The five-day long rally will feature songs, dramas, dances and recitations conveying awareness-raising messages against sexual violence. The first day of the program was arranged by Bangladesh Abritti Somonnoy Parishad.
At the rally, Samilita Sanskritik Jote president Golam Kuddus said ‘it is shameful for the whole nation that not one criminal has yet been arrested after one month of the incident’. The inaugural ceremony was presided over by Bangladesh Abritti Samannay Parishad’s presidium member Istekbal Hossian and was also addressed by, among others, singer Fakir Alamgir, Jatiya Kabita Parishad’s president Muhammad Samad, Bangladesh Abritti Samannay Parishad’s general secretary Ahkam Ullam, cultural personality Nasiruddin Yousuf Bacchu.
