Students of Government Devendra College agitated in the town yesterday demanding punishment to the husband who allegedly killed Asma Akter Lipi, a student of the college. The agitation programme included procession and human chain followed by a rally. Family members of Lipi and teachers of the college also joined the programme. The procession, brought out from the college campus, paraded the main streets of the district town. After the procession, the protesters formed a human chain and held a rally in front of Manikganj Press Club. A number of students of the college and father of Lipi addressed the rally. They demanded punishment to Mohammad Ali, husband of the victim, who allegedly stabbed Lipi to death on November 23, taking her to his uncles house at Kurgaon of Nabinagar in the city. Mohammad Ali, a navy personal and son of Ahammad Ali of Sametpur village under Daulatpur upazila of the district, married Asma Akter Lipi, daughter of Fazlur Rahman of Karjona village under Ghior upazila in July, 2009. Victim's family sources said Mohammad Ali killed Lipi after she took the decision to divorce him as he was a married person having wife and kids.
