Tonu’s family dissatisfied with 1st autopsy report

Staff Correspondent, Comilla: Family of murdered Comilla Victoria College student Sohagi Jahan Tonu has expressed dissatisfaction with the findings of the first autopsy conducted on her body.

Rejecting the autopsy report, Yaar Hossain, father of Tonu, said that the report failed to make clear how the girl was killed.

Earlier on Monday, doctors of Forensic Department at Comilla Medical College Hospital revealed that the autopsy did not find any sign of rape before the death of Tonu.

Forensic Department Professor Kamoda Prosad Saha said, “We didn’t find any sign of rape and it is not even clear how she was killed.”

Yaar Hossain expressed his discontent over the autopsy report. “I myself took the bloodstained body of my daughter to the CMH. My daughter was killed. But what the doctors are saying now! Is that my daughter was killed by an evil spirit?” he questioned.

He hoped that the second autopsy will reveal the real cause of her death, and sought the Prime Minister’s intervention in getting justice for Tonu’s murder.

On Wednesday last, the body of Tonu was exhumed from her grave in Muradnagar upazila of the district for a fresh postmortem in compliance with a court order.

Meanwhile, various cultural organisations and students of different institutions have staged protests refuting the autopsy and demanding justice for Tonu murder.
