Mother of Bulbul Ahmed, a student of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (Sust) stabbed to death on July 24, has urged the prime minister to take steps to ensure punishment of the killers.
Bulbul’s mother Yasmin Begum made the request when she went to the provost office of Shah Poran Hall on Sunday to receive her son’s belongings.
The victim’s siblings were also present at that moment.
Terming the murder pre-planned, the victim’s sister Sohagi Akter urged the authorities concerned to find out the actual culprits through proper investigation to ensure justice for her brother.
“Real culprits might have hired killers in exchange for money. They might have killed him out of anger. Proper investigation will reveal everything,” she said.
Sohagi said the identities of the main culprits would be known if the detainees were placed on remand.
Bulbul, a third-year student of the Public Administration Department of the university, went to the Gazikalur Tila area inside the campus along with his friends.
At one stage, his friends rescued him after he was reportedly stabbed by some muggers.
Bulbul was first rushed to the university medical centre and later shifted to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College and Hospital where a doctor declared him dead around 7:45pm.
Sust authorities formed a five-member probe body to look into the death.
Police detained three people in connection with the murder after a case was filed the same day with Jalalabad police station.
Police on Wednesday recovered the knife used in the murder of Bulbul and his mobile phone set at Tilagaon near the university campus in Sylhet.
