Detective Branch of police will give a report to the court that Amatullah Bushra, a third-year student of East West University who is now in jail, has no connection with the death of Buet student Fardin Noor Parash, reports UNB.
Additional Commissioner (Detective Branch) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Mohammad Harunur Rashid told reporters in response to a question regarding Bushra at DB office on Thursday.
“It is a court's matter. We will submit report in this regard as we did not find Bushra's connection in Fardin's death.”
Bushra was arrested from her Banasree home in Dhaka on November 10 soon after the recovery of Fardin's body. She was sent to jail after expiry of her five-day remand on November 16.
After a long 38-day investigation, the DB chief said on Thursday that Fardin roamed alone in different areas of Dhaka before he went missing.
“Fardin was not murdered, he committed suicide by jumping into the river from Sultana Kamal Bridge on November 4 out of depression,” he said.
Besides, no injury mark was found on Fardin's body. His mobile and money was in his pocket and watch on his hand, said the DB chief.
Forty students of Buet came to the DB office on Thursday and talked with the investigating officers for about three hours, he said.
Fardin was an introvert and disturbed due to his poor result, he added.
“After reviewing the entire matter, we have reached the conclusion that there is no sign of murder.”
“We spoke to his family yesterday (Wednesday) about this. If a person commits suicide by closing the door, there are no witnesses. Looking at the incident, it seems that he decided to commit suicide and roamed around different places. And we have come to a conclusion.”
Fardin was a third-year student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology's civil engineering department and a resident of Qutubpur area in Narayanganj's Fatullah.
Police recovered Fardin's body from the Shitalakhkhya River, behind a cotton mill at Siddhirganj, on November 7, three days after he went missing.
Sheikh Farhad, a physician at Narayanganj General Hospital where the autopsy was done, said there were several injury marks on Fardin's head and body.
Kazi Nuruddin Rana, Fardin's father, filed a case in connection with his son's killing with Rampura Police Station on the same day and the case was later transferred to Detective Branch (DB) Police.
