Home minister: Those responsible for Munia’s death must be brought to justice

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Wednesday said those who are found responsible for the death of college student Mosarat Jahan Munia must be brought to justice.

The minister made the remark while responding to a question from reporters at his Dhanmondi residence.

“I clearly say that everything will go as per the law. The law will take its own course.  The culprit will face a trial, whoever they are. We can say more about it only after investigation,” he added.

Police on Monday recovered the hanging body of Muniya, 21, from a flat in Dhaka’s Gulshan area. She was the daughter of the late Shafiqur Rahman, a freedom fighter from Monoharpur in Cumilla district.

Following the recovery of her body, the victim's sister, Nusrat Jahan, filed a case under section 306 of Bangladesh Penal Code with Gulshan police station around 1:30 am on Tuesday.

In the case, Nusrat Jahan accused Sayem Sobhan Anvir, managing director of Bashundhara Group, of abetting the death of the 21-year-old college student.
