Family members and relatives of a Jubo League activist who was beaten to death on October 26 urged the government to ensure justice for the murder.
They formed a human chain in the Saheb Bazar zero-point area to press home their demand at about 11:00am on Sunday.
Addressing the human chain, Keya Begum, mother of deceased JL activist Md Mim, said that some local miscreants beat his son to death on October 26 over a previous feud.
鈥業t, however, was then circulated that Mim was beaten as he was against the student-led mass uprising,鈥� she alleged.
鈥楾hose who have killed my son are known people, but the police are not arresting them,鈥� she alleged.
The speakers urged the government to arrest Mim鈥檚 killers immediately and ensure justice for the murder and safety of the deceased family.
On October 26, a group of 10 to 15 youths aged between 20 and 30 caught and beat Mim in the Sagarpara area in the city at about 7:30pm, suspecting that he was involved in the Awami league politics and attacked the student-led procession in Rajshahi on August 5.
Later, the youths forcibly picked Mim to a battery-powered rickshaw and then a battery-run three-wheeler, and took him to the Panchavati area where they beat him mercilessly.
Mim, who was left in front of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital in a critical condition, was later pronounced dead by the doctor on duty at the hospital.
On the following day, Mim鈥檚 mother filed a murder case with the Boalia Model Police Station against 13 named and 8 to 10 unnamed people.
