Punish those behind college girl’s death in flat
BNP MP Harunur Rashid yesterday -- at the parliament -- demanded that perpetrators behind the death of a college girl in a Dhaka flat be punished.
He also demanded that the law enforcement agencies bring those to book who allegedly assaulted and attempted to rape actress Pori Moni.
Participating in discussions on two different bills, Harun -- elected from Chapainawabganj-3 -- said if the perpetrators involved in the two incidents were "general people", law enforcers would have taken actions against them.
Mentioning death of the young girl at a flat at city's Gulshan, the BNP MP said, "Is there no law in the country? What is the home ministry doing?"
On April 26, police recovered the body of the girl hanging from the ceiling fan in her bedroom.
A day after, her family sued Bashundhara Group Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir over abetting her death by suicide.
Her family members expressed frustration as police are yet to arrest Anvir.
Referring to Pori Moni, Harun said she has been seeking justice for four days following attempted rape and assault. "Media has published news in this regard. Is it false?" questioned the BNP MP.
"The home minister is not in parliament. I want to draw his attention to this. Persons involved in this incident must be brought to justice," Harun said.
Meanwhile yesterday, detectives said they will take immediate steps against Bashundhara Group MD if Gulshan police seek help in a case filed against him on charge of abetting suicide of a young woman.
Harun or Rashid, joint commissioner (North) of Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, said this while replying to a query after arresting five persons from Dhaka's Uttara area, following a case filed by Pori Moni with Savar Police Station.
"Yes, we arrested many, including Mamunul Haque (former Hefajat leader), within shortest possible time. We take immediate steps whenever an investigation officer of a case requests or requisitions us to arrest someone," Harun said.
"We will take steps immediately in the case, if Gulshan Police requisition in the case filed against Anvir," he said replying to a query.
