Candle-light vigil held demanding justice

The criminals are enjoying patronage of political parties nowadays, for which justice is being delayed, alleged Rafiur Rabbi, father of Tanwir Mohammad Taqi.

He made the allegation at a candle-lighting programme at Narayanganj Kendrio Shaheed Minar yesterday.

Narayanganj Sanskritik Jote arranged the programme demanding justice for Taqi.

The seventeen-year-old went missing after he had left home for Sudhijon Pathagar, a library, around 4:00pm on March 6, 2013. Later, his body was found floating in the Shitalakhya river on the morning of March 8.

“It has been more than three years but investigators are yet to press charges in the case,” said Advocate Prodip Ghosh Babu.

Ziaul Islam Kazol, the Jote's president, said, “The assailants, regardless of their political allegiance, must be brought under trial.”

Nikhil Das, Hafizul Islam, Tariqul Suzan, Abdur Rahman, Jahirul Islam and other activists were also present.
