Shipra Debnath: I am good to go far for the justice

Stamford University student Shipra Rani Devnath, one of the companions of Major (retd) Sinha Md Rashed in Cox’s Bazar, in a Facebook post expressed her determination to continue fight for justice.

“I am good to go far for the justice. Back to my family. Just allow me some time. And thanks to everyone for all the support and empathy, I am grateful,” she wrote on her facebook wall on Monday.

A Cox's Bazar court on Sunday granted her bail in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act.


Major (retd) Sinha was killed in police firing at Baharchhara police check-post on July 31.
