DNA test findings

Tonu’s parents now hopeful for justice

The parents of Sohagi Jahan Tonu have expressed satisfaction over the DNA test report by the Criminal Investigation Department, saying the positive results of the test are a clear way to justice.
“We’re happy with the report. Now it seems that we’re going to have justice,” said Tonu’s parents Yaar Hossain and Anwar Begum while talking to reporters in front of Comilla Cantonment Board yesterday morning, reports UNB.
They said they are now waiting to see the real killers brought to justice. Unlike the first autopsy report, the CID has found rape evidence on the body of the Comilla Victoria College girl in its DNA test.
“We’ve found samples of spermatozoa of three men in the dress and underwear of Tonu in the DNA test conducted at the CID’s Dhaka laboratory,” Special Police Super of Comilla CID Dr Nazmul Karim Khan told UNB over phone on Monday night.
Earlier, doctors at the Forensic Department of Comilla Medical College Hospital had claimed that they did not find in their first autopsy report any sign of rape before the death of the college girl.
Later, a fresh postmortem was conducted on the body of the college girl at the Comilla Medical College Hospital on March 30 after it was exhumed on the day, following a court order on March 28.
Members of Crime Scene Unit of CID brought the DNA and other samples of teeth, nails and body to Dhaka for examination.
Dr Kamoda Prosad Saha conducted the second autopsy along with Dr Omar Faruk and Sharmin Sultana of the hospital.
Sohagi Jahan Tonu, a second year student of the History Department of Comilla Victoria College and member of Victoria College Theatre, was found dead in a bush beside a culvert inside the Comilla Cantonment area on March 20.
