Brac has decided to provide full financial and legal support to the family of Dr Sajia Arfin Eva, a part-time physician of its Dakshin Khan clinic in the capital, who was murdered during duty hours on Friday. A high-level management meeting of Brac on Sunday also decided to help facilitate free and fair judgment in the murder case filed by Dr Sajia's father Monirul Islam in connection with the killing, said a Brac press release. Brac employees expressed deep shock at the killing of Dr Sajia and demanded punishment of her killer. A doa and milad mahfil will be held at Brac's head office at Brac Centre in Mohakhali at 4:00pm tomorrow to pray for the departed soul. Meanwhile on Sunday, Mohammad Faysal, a caretaker of the clinic, was sent to jail after he confessed that he had strangled Dr Sajia.
