Family members as well as people of Narayanganj have become frustrated over getting justice into the killing of Twoki as police yet to press charge sheet in connection with the killing in three years.
Yesterday was the third death anniversary of Twoki who has been killed allegedly by local hoodlums.
On the occasion, family members and members of different socio-cultural organisation placed wreath to the graveyard of Twoki. Doa and Milad mahfil were arranged seeking salvation of the departed soul.
Rafiur Rabbi, father of the A-Level student Twoki, alleged that as the ruling party Awami League did not want justice for Twoki, law enforcement agencies were not showing any interest to proceed the case.
“Three years have already passed, but they [investigators] are not filing the charge sheet although the main accused is moving about freely. What can we do now?” said Twoki’s father Rafiur Rabbi, the convener of Santras Nirmul Twoki Mancha – an anti-crime platform founded to honour the memory of Twoki.
He also alleged that the charge sheet had become uncertain as the accused were members of the Osman family.
He said: “It was revealed during investigation that my son was killed in the torture cell of Ajmeri Osman, son of Nasim Osman. Two members of Osman family are now Members of Parliament. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already said that she is with Osman family. So, How can we get justice?”
On March 6, 2013, Twoki went missing in Narayanganj, and his body was found two days after on the banks of the Shitalakkhya River. On March 8, Rafiur Rabbi filed a murder case against unidentified criminals.
On March 18, Rabbi in a letter to the then police super requested him to include the name of Shamim Osman, his son Oyan Osman, Jubo League leader Johirul Islam Bhuiyan Parvez, district unit Chhatra League president Rajib Das, General Secretary Mijanur Rahman and Saleh Rahman Simanta and Rifat Bin Osman as accused of the case.
After filing of the case, police started investigation of the case. Later, the case was handed over to the Rapid Action Battalion on June 20, 2013 upon a rule of the High Court.
Then, police arrested Yusuf Hossain Liton, Sultan Shawkat Bhromor, Yayeb Uddin Jaki and Saleh Rahman Simanta in connection with the killing. Of them, Yusuf and Liton confessed to killing Twoki.
Since the beginning of the case, local Awami Leaders including, Kabori Sarowar and Helina Hayat Ivy – have been blaming Osman family for the killing, but now many of them are reluctant to say anything about the issue.
Colonnel Anwar Khan Latif, captain of RAB 11, told the Dhaka Tribune that Twoki killing case was a sensitive issue. That’s why RAB was dealing the case considering all aspects.
“We are trying to submit an acceptable charge sheet. So, it is quite impossible for us to set any time frame for pressing charge sheet.” he said.
