Disclose second autopsy report

Civil society members yesterday demanded the second autopsy report of college girl Sohagi Jahan Tonu be made public soon to put her killers on trial.

They made the demand at a human chain programme under the banner of Comillar Sorbostorer Nagorik in front of Comilla Town Hall in Kandirpar in the afternoon.

Speakers at the programme said complexities have arisen over finding the reason for Tonu's death and identifying her killers as the authorities concerned have been dilly-dallying on disclosing the second autopsy report.

They also demanded the government take action against Dr Sharmin Sultana of Comilla Medical College Hospital for failing to find evidence of rape after conducting the first autopsy on Tonu's body.

The history student at Comilla Victoria College was found dead in a bush inside Comilla Cantonment on March 20.

DNA profiling provided proof that the victim was raped before she was murdered, the Criminal Investigation Department said on May 17.

Earlier, forensic doctors at the hospital in their first autopsy report said there was no sign of rape on Tonu's body.

On March 28, a local court ordered exhumation of the body from the grave for a fresh autopsy.
