Death of College Girl in Chuadanga
Father terms it a planned murder, sues eight
Nasima
Father of killed college girl Nasima has filed a case with Chuadanga Judicial Magistrate's Court against eight people on charge of killing her daughter. Body of Nasima, 19, a first year student of Birshrestha Hamidur Rahman College in Khalishpur in Jhenidah, was recovered from a field at Nishikundu village in Jibon Nagar upazila of Chuadanga on Thursday. The girl stayed at her aunt's house at Nishikundu for study. In the case filed with Chuadanga Judicial Magistrate's Court on Monday, the victim's father Abul Kashem, a poor farmer of village Marufdah of Jibon Nagar upazila, alleged that one Hasan, son of Nazrul Islam Khan of Nishikundu, was the main culprit behind Nasima's killing. Other accused are Hasan's parents Nazrul Islam and Renu Begum, younger brother Milon Khan, uncle Nasir Uddin and his son Sharif Uddin, daughter Kajoli, and friend Bulbul. After receiving the case, Judicial Magistrate Sheikh Aminul Islam ordered police to submit the post mortem report and arrest the accused. The complainant also prayed for changing IO (investigation officer) of the case for his alleged partiality. According to the case, Nasima and Hasan loved each other. Recently, Nasima's father Kashem planned to arrange marriage of his daughter. Nasima informed Hasan of the matter and asked him to marry her. But Hasan's family did not agree to it and asked Hasan to 'remove the girl from his way'. Afterwards Hasan told Nasima to come to his house. When Nasima was returning to her aunt's house from college on Wednesday, two friends of Hasan (still not identified) stopped Nasima at Hasdah Bazar at about 3:30pm. Saying that Hasan was waiting for her, they took Naisma to an unknown place and since then the girl remained missing. On Thursday afternoon, locals found Nasima's body at Nishikundu field and a police team led by Sub-Inspector Sazzad Hossain from Sahapur police camp recovered the body. Police also seized an empty bottle of poison, a college bag, a veil, cash Tk 17 and a 'suicide note' saying that the girl was going to commit suicide and no one was responsible for it. Police sent the body to Chuadanga Sadar Hospital and returned it to Nasima's family after post mortem. In the case, it was alleged that several marks of hitting were found on Nasima's body but police did not record it. "It was a planned murder. Despite repeated request, neither police nor doctors of the Sadar hospital provided us any information about the post mortem," Sirajul Islam, maternal uncle of the victim, said.
