Death of a University Student
Punishment to culprits demanded


Bangladesh Mahila Parishad yesterday demanded exemplary punishment to the persons responsible for the death of Mousumi Hasan, a student of Asia Pacific University.

She died on February 26 at a city hospital after fighting for life for 11 days. A case was filed with Mohammadpur police station against her husband Emon accusing him of injecting Mousumi with poison that led to her death.

Mousumi's father Daud Hasan said her daughter died because of her husband's addiction to drug and money.

The Mahila Parishad held a rally in front of the Mohammadpur police station and submitted a memorandum to the inspector general of police (IGP) demanding proper investigation and fair trial.

The rally was addressed by Mahila Parishad leader Sharaban Tahura and Parishad legal advisor Rehana Yunus.

Parishad leaders Dipti Rani Sikder, Nurul Wara and Nasreen Mamun and Mousumi's parents were present at the rally presided over by Selina Begum.
