20 years into Sony murder: Arrest of killers demanded
Twenty years into the murder of Sabekun Nahar Sony, a victim of a factional clash of BUET Chhatra Dal, former and current students of the university called for the arrest of the convicted killers.
Placing bouquets at the commemorative plaque of Sony in front of Buet's Sabekun Nahar Sony Hall, they made this call.
Sony, as revealed by her parents and friends, fell prey to the gunfire between two groups of Buet Chhatra Dal, the student wing of the BNP.
The factions were fighting for their claim over tenders.
On June 8, 2002, the 99-batch chemical engineering student of Buet was caught in the line of action of fire between the Chhatra Dal groups on the campus and succumbed to her injury.
The incident created a buzz across the country as it set the notorious precedence of murdering a female student in campus violence.
Former Buet students including engineer Habib Ahmed Halim Murad, Moniruzzaman Monir, Shafiul Alam Dollar, Amit Kumar Chakraborty, Rounak Ahsan, Tonmoy Ahmed, Abu Hasan Masud, Abu Sayd Kanak, and Joy Prokash were present, reports UNB.
