No headway in murder of journalist Dipankar

Condemnations pour in

OUR CORRESPONDENT, Bogra
Police could not arrest anybody in connection with the murder of Dipankar Chakrabarty, a senior journalist and vice-president of Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ), till yesterday.
Assailants attacked and killed Dipankar, executive editor of a local daily Durjoy Bangla, with an axe near his house at Sherpur in the early hours of Sunday.
Although police failed to make any headway, a reliable source said that a number of local influential people, who have been occupying a vast area of land of Sherpur Rani Bhabani Temple, might have a hand in the murder. Dipankar was an advisor to the temple.
Local journalists took out a procession yesterday, the second day of their three-day protest. They wore black badges, hoisted black flags at the press club and put a blank space on the front pages of local newspapers to protest the murder.

arrest and punishment to the killers.
