Several hundred students of Bera High School brought out a procession in the upazila headquarters yesterday demanding punishment to the killers of Md Mizanur Rahman, a class IX student of the school. "The school authority will organise a human chain and hold a condolence meeting on the school premises on Thursday protesting the killing of Mizan. Teachers, students and guardians will participate there,” said Md Ali Asraf, the headmaster of the school. The court yesterday sent to jail Sumi Khatun, arrested in connection with Mizan murder. “Sumi has given some important information about her relation with Mizan and related incidents. We have also found some clues to the murder,” said Sub Inspector Md Tarek of Bera police station, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case. The arrestee gave her confessional statement to the court, the IO said. He, however, declined to reveal further 'for the sake of investigation'.
