Afsana killing: Chhatra Union gives ultimatum to arrest killers

They also threatened to besiege the Home Ministry if the killers are not arrest within a week. A fight broke out at the press club between the protesters and police while they were marching towards the secretariat with a procession breaking through barbwired barricades. “At least three activists were injured during the scuffle, Konok Hayat, Abdullah Al Noman, Rajib Rajkumer who were taken to Dhaka Medical College & Hospital,’ said Lucky Akhter, president of Chhatra Union. A memorandum was also submitted to district administrator's offices across the country yesterday, she claimed. Earlier, leaders and activists of the left leaning student organization brought out a procession from Dhaka University campus that broke through a barbwired barricade at Doyel Chattar and marched towards the secretariat. They were forced to hold a protest rally at the press club after police stopped their march. Later, a five-member representative team led by Lucky gave a memorandum to the Home Ministry with three point charter demanding the immediate arrest and trial of the people including Tejgoan College Chhatra League leader Habibur Rahman Robin allegedly involved in killing. They also demanded a fresh autopsy rejecting the results of the first one. Lucky said: "If the killers of Afsana are not arrested with a week it will prove the home minister's and we will demand his resignation." On August 13 two unidentified men dumped Afsana's body at a local hospital. She was a final year student of architecture at Mirpur’s Saik Institute of Management and Technology. Afsana’s family alleged that the victim was raped before being murdered.
