Parents of Sadia Nowshin Priyanka are still waiting for the final (viscera) report of their daughter's fresh post mortem.
The mystery behind the death of the 17-year-old girl, who was found dead at her house on July 18, is yet to be unveiled.
The viscera report is still being prepared under the supervision of CID, Priyanka's father Sultan Faruque told Star City.
Dr Habibur Rahman, acting head of the forensic department of Barisal Medical College Hospital and one of the doctors that performed the second autopsy, said no mark of injury was found on the body.
"But nothing can be ascertained on the basis of primary findings," he said.
Faruque, an accountant at the BDR, expressed hope that the latest post mortem report will help find the person behind the murder.
“We are yet to get the final report but collected the primary outcome from the IO [investigating officer] of Ramna Police Station. It says there is no mark of injury in support of hanging. So we are hopeful that the criminal will be brought to justice,” he said.
Faruque believes that the first post mortem report was influenced.
Meanwhile, the gatekeeper of Priyanka's house, who was arrested earlier on suspicion of being an accomplice to the murderer, has been released.
“I am feeling insecure as he is roaming freely around. We are not getting much response from the police,” said Faruque.
Qazi Mohammad Didarul Alam, sub-inspector at Ramna Police Station and IO of the case, said: "We are waiting for the final (viscera) report. The investigation is going on."
Rab-3 is assisting the police in investigating the case. "The future of the case will be based on the second post mortem report. We are looking for Priyanka's maternal uncle Rintu," said an investigating officer of the Rapid Action Battalion.
"At first we suspected there might be some social pressure on Priyanka due to her abduction two years ago, which might have driven her to commit suicide. But after talking with her friends we concluded that the incident might had no such effect on her mind. She behaved quite normally after that incident and started going to school again," he said.
Priyanka, who passed SSC this year from Viqarunnissa Noon School obtaining GPA-5, was found dead at her bedroom. According to the first post mortem report, Priyanka committed suicide.
Rejecting the first post mortem report, done at the forensic department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, her parents said there was no obvious reason that could drive their daughter to kill herself. They said after passing the SSC examination she was preparing to get admitted to college. Besides, she was ready to join a reception of meritorious students at Nandan Park.
The latest post mortem was done on August 2 at the Barisal Medical College Hospital. Her body was exhumed after the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) court, Dhaka ordered a fresh autopsy on July 27 following an application of Priyanka's father.
The principal of Barisal Medical College formed a medical team of three doctors as per the court order. The team consisted of the heads of the forensic, pathological and radiology departments.
Priyanka's mother, Shamsunnahar, who first saw her dead, said she found her daughter lying on the floor with several knots of a georgette scarf around her neck while the door closed from outside.
According to Priyanka's parents, Piryanka's maternal uncle Zahidul Haque alias Rintu, is the prime suspect in the case as he was in bad terms with them and had connections with antisocial elements.
“Around an hour after Priyanka's death he called up his elder brother Zakir and wanted to know about Piryanka. After that he went into hiding. He did not even visit our house after Priyanka's death," said Faruque.
Priyanka's father filed a case with Ramna Police Station on July 20 showing Rintu as the main accused.
