Tonu Murder Case

No progress despite home minister’s assurance

Though 26 months have elapsed since the murder of Comilla Victoria College student Sohagi Jahan Tonu, the investigation into the gruesome killing continues to languish without any progress to speak of, reports UNB. Family members and locals expressed their anger and frustration as the police have even failed to name any suspect, let alone make any arrests. Meanwhile an announcement by Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan earlier this month that "the mystery behind Tonu murder case will be revealed soon" seems to have come to nothing.

The minister had come up with the announcement while talking to reporters after a program at the Daffodil University campus on May 5. Tonu, a second-year history student at CVC and active member of Victoria College Theatre, also worked part-time as a private tutor. She was found dead in a wooded part of the Cumilla Mainamati Cantonment on March 20, 2016 after she failed to return home from one of her private tuition classes. Her murder sparked a huge public outcry and people from home and abroad demanded justice.

Doctors at the forensic department of Cumilla Medical College Hospital conducted two autopsies on her body but their reports failed to mention any clear cause of death.
