Limon Mishra murder case, filed by the victim's father with Dinajpur Police Station on May 4, was transferred to the detective branch of police yesterday afternoon. Though one of the eight accused named Sumon Sarker was arrested immediately after filing of the case, the remaining seven are still at large. Earlier on the day, Limon's family and members of Dinajpur Sachetan Nagorik Committee alleged the killers are moving freely under the nose of the law enforcers and putting pressure on the victim's father to withdraw the case. They made the allegations at a press conference at Dinajpur Press Club in the morning. Parimal Chakraborty Tapan, convener of Dinajpur Sachetan Nagorik Committee, read out a written statement at the conference. Rezaur Rahman Rezu, general secretary of Udichi Dinajpur unit, Azadi Hye and Kaniz Rahman, president and general secretary of the district unit of Bangladesh Mohila Parishad, Limon's father Phani Mishra, wife Indu Banarjee, and father-in-law Jyotinmoy Banarjee also spoke at the press conference. “The killers are moving freely and joining different programmes in the town, but police are mysteriously inactive to arrest them,” they alleged. They demanded immediate arrest and exemplary punishment of the killers and urged the authorities concerned to ensure security of Limon's family. A gang of stalkers stabbed Limon, 28, in front of Lily Square in the town at around 7:00pm on May 4 as he protested teasing of his wife Indu, a third year management student of Dinajpur Government College, on her way to the college earlier on the day. Limon was rushed to Dinajpur Medical College and Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries at around 10:30pm. His father Phani Mishra filed a case with Dinajpur Police Station against eight stalkers the same night. The accused are Rubel Rahman, 26, Ajoy Shil, 24, Tanmoy Goswami, 23, Bakul, 26, Rajan, 24, Sumon Prosad, 22, summon Sarker, 23, and Subir, 22.
