Bring Tangail arsonist, accomplices to justice

On 6th September 2014 in Tangail, a mother and her three young daughters went to sleep at night after celebrating Eid-ul-Adha, but little did they know they wouldn't wake up again as criminals set fire to their house, killing all of them. This barbarous incident happened because Monira (14), the eldest daughter, refused to marry a man named Jahangir Hossain, to whom she was engaged three years ago.

One detainee, a rickshaw puller by profession, told police that Jahangir hired him for Tk 200 to carry petrol from a nearby filling station. We want harsh punishment for these culprits who bring such a miserable end to the lives of innocent people.
