Sabekun Nahar Sony

The father of late Buet student Sabekun Nahar Sony yesterday demanded the government arrest the absconding murder convicts and mete out punishment.
“I appeal to the authorities to arrest the two fugitives, who along with three others had been sentenced to life imprisonment in 2006 for killing my daughter,” Habibur Rahman told The Daily Star over the phone.
Yesterday was the ninth anniversary of her death.
A first year student of chemical engineering department, Sony was killed during a factional clash between two feuding groups of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) on the campus of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) in 2002.
The two factions exchanged gunfire and she was caught in the line of fire.
Habibur urged the government to take measures to stop campus violence. By no means should such an incident recur, he insisted.
He also demanded the authorities name the place “Sony Chattar” where she was killed.
Among the five convicts, Mushfiquddin alias Tagar and his two cohorts are now serving the sentence, while Nurul Islam Sagor and Mokammel Hayat Khan Muki have been absconding.
The JCD factions had a dispute over tenders for construction of a new residential hall and a Power Development Board office on the campus.
