Second death anniversary of Simi today

Simi Banu

A vivacious daughter of a doting mother, Simi was an aspiring artist. But all her aspiration and vivacity came to an end on this day two years ago.

She tried to seek peace in death being unable to bear the taunts of Ripon, Dolon, Khalil and Mofazzal.

However, her bereaved mother feels that Simi's soul still could not attain peace as the criminals responsible for her death are roaming scot-free.

Even Sub-Inspector Abul Bashar of Khilgaon Police station who rebuked her when she asked for help is now on bail.

Though Simi's death sparked a nationwide protest and criticism, her mother Zerina Begum claimed she still has not received justice. "I leave the justice to Allah," she sobbed.

A milad mahfil will be held at Simi's residence on December 25. Her mother requested relatives, friends and well-wishers to attend the milad.
