Investigation:-
Soon after we received the news of murder I communicated with Mr. Rezaul -O.C Sonargaon Police station, S.P. Narayangonj District over their cell number who also gave me to understand that the dead body has been sent for post-mortem examination at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, as soon as the report received at their police station they will register the case against the person responsible for the murder of deceased. In the meantime O.C. informed me that they on suspicion detained three perpetrators before lodging any F.I.R.
As soon as we learn to know that the dead body has been kept at the morgue at Dhaka Medical College Hospital for post-mortem examination, I, along with Shymol Das BDMW proceeded towards Dhaka Medical College and found wife of deceased and enquired about how her husband has been killed: She burst into tears and started to give us to understand that more than 15 perpetrators armed with deadly weapon came to her house and enquired Tapan Barman and as soon as her husband appeared those perpetrators namely 1 ) Md. Majibar Rahaman, 2) Md. Abu Taleb, 3) Md. Zahangir, 4) Md.Hamidul, 5) Md. Zahidul 6) Md. Abul Hossain Member and others jumped over him and they indiscriminately with intent to kill him thrashed out his body and face and as a result of such beating his husband died. We have taken her video statements in our camera.
We have also gone to examine the dead body of Tapan Barman at Dhaka Medical College at about 2 p.m. and found the dead body with unidentified condition; we noticed severe injuries on his face and body. We also found his eyes closed and teeth open. We also took a picture of the deceased and came back from the Medical College Hospital. We will also visit the spot and will be able to find out more.
