Family members of murdered college student Sohan Islam yesterday rejected the charge sheet filed with a Sylhet court. They demanded that more investigation be done in the murder case.
Sohan's mother Shahana Begum Shanu, a former ward councilor of the Sylhet City Corporation, placed the demand at press conference in the Sylhet Press Club yesterday.

The then IO, Nurul Alam, now officer-in-charge (investigation) at Sylhet Airport police station, said: “I had submitted the charge sheet as per the investigation report.”
