Twenty-one eminent citizens on Tuesday demanded justice for Tanwir Muhammad Tawqi, a brilliant student of Narayanganj, who was abducted and murdered in 2013.
In a statement, they said they were worried and aggrieved as the charge sheet was not filed in the murder case in last five years.
The signatories said Rapid Action Battalion, the investigating agency of the case, within a year of the murder claimed that they had detected why, when, where, who and how Tawqi was killed. RAB even supplied a draft charge sheet to the media and said they would submit the charge sheet to the court soon. But the charge sheet had not been submitted to the court yet, they said.
‘It could not be an example of fair trial process’, they said.
Language Movement veteran Ahmad Rafique, educationists Serajul Islam Choudhury, Anisuzzaman, Sanjida Khatun, journalist Kamal Lohani, writer Hasan Azizul Huq, Anu Muhammad, rights activist Sultana Kamal and actor Mamunur Rashid, are among the 21 eminent citizens, confirms a press release issued by Santrash Nirmul Tawqi Mancha.
The Rapid Action Battalion had announced in March 2014 that they would submit the charge sheet in weeks.
Tawqi, 17, an A-level student of the ABC International School in the city, was abducted on March 6, 2013 and his body was found in a canal in the city after two days. Rafiur filed the case with the Narayanganj police station on March 8,
2013 against some unnamed people.
He, however, named seven people including ruling Awami League MP AKM Shamim Osman, his son Ayon Osman, their associates Jahirul Islam Parvej, who went missing few months after the killing of Tawqi, Mizanur Rahman Sujon, Rajib Das, Saleh Rahman Simanto, and Rifat.
In March 2014, the then battalion additional director general Ziaul Ahsan said they found involvement of Ajmeri Osman and 10 others in the murder.
The battalion in March 2014 also cited Rabbi’s support to Narayanganj city mayor Selina Hayat Ivy was the motive behind the murder.
