Taqi’s 8th death anniv observed
The eighth death anniversary of Tanwir Muhammad Taqi was observed yesterday amid shock, grief and frustration, as the killers have still not been brought to justice.
The victim's family, and socio-cultural and political activists paid their respects at Taqi's grave in Narayanganj's Bandar upazila, and vowed to continue their movement until the killers are tried.
"We have come here to pay tribute. We vow to continue our movement until justice is ensured," said Bhabani Sangkar Roy, president of Narayanganj Sangskritik Jote.
Narayanganj City Corporation Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy and Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) Narayanganj District Unit President Hafizul Islam, among others, paid tribute.
Taqi (17) went missing after leaving his home on Shaista Khan Road for Sudhijon Pathagar, a local library, around 4pm on March 6, 2013. He was a student of ABC International School.
On the morning of March 8, his body was found floating on Shitalakhya River.
Taqi's father Rafiur Rabbi filed a murder case with Narayanganj Kotwali Police Station the same day. He also submitted a complaint to the superintendent of police on March 18, accusing seven persons by name and 8-10 unnamed.
Eight of the accused remain absconding, while five have been arrested in the case. But, law enforcers are yet to file charge-sheet in the case.
