Uttara O-level student's death still a mystery

Staff Correspondent
Mystery still shrouds the death of an O-level candidate in the capital's Uttara just days before Eid-ul-Azha on Monday.
The body of Zubair Ahmed, 16, was recovered by divers of firefighting units from a pond at Sector 4 on Sunday around 11:00am as per information provided by an Algerian national, Abu Ubaida Kadir.
Ubaida, arrested and taken on a three-day remand which ended yesterday, told police that he and Zubair were playing football in a field on Saturday evening when the ball fell in the adjoining pond.
He said Zubair drowned while trying to retrieve it and he had tried and failed to save him. All this has been witnessed by, as he says, a local named Ismail Hossain, whom police are still trying to trace.
He claimed to have gone home afterwards and fallen asleep.
Ubaida had been an acquaintance of Zubair for some time for they played football together, the victim's brother Jamil Ahmed told The Daily Star yesterday.
On Saturday, Zubair left his Sector 5 residence around 5:30pm without his cellphone. As darkness fell and he did not return, the family called Ubaida but they found the line busy, said Jamil.
Around 6:10am on Sunday, Ubaida called Jamil informing that he knew where Zubair was. They both went to the spot and Ubaida showed where he had last seen Zubair, added Jamil.
Zubair knew a little bit of swimming, Jamil said, adding that he had talked to a lot of people who were playing there at the time Ubaida claimed Zubair had drowned and that none had seen it happen.
Police informed of seeing scratch marks on Zubair's belly. Dhaka Medical College morgue sources informed that they found evidence suggesting Zubair had drowned but kept viscera samples to see if he was poisoned or sedated.

sector involvement in the sustainable development goals. Unctad's World Investment Forum fulfils an important gap in global economic governance in the absence of any other international platform to discuss these issues.”
A unique gathering of over 2,000 private and public sector representatives from the developing and developed world, the forum will consider policy frameworks and conditions for investment at national and global levels to address sustainable development challenges.
There will be nearly 40 events, including private sector-led sessions, ministerial round tables and the World Leaders Investment Summits.
High-level participants include Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, Jamaican Prime Minister Portia
Simpson-Miller, Prime Minister of Madagascar Roger Kolo, President of Seychelles James Michel, President of Switzerland Didier Burkhalter, interim Prime Minister of Tunisia Mehdi Jomaa and dozens of foreign affairs, investment and trade ministers from around the world.
The forum will be addressed by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and hosted by Dr Kituyi.
Findings from Unctad's World Investment Report 2014 indicated that the total investment need in developing countries to deliver on the sustainable development goals will be $3.9 trillion per year. Current levels of investment leave an investment gap of some $2.5 trillion.
Transnational corporations in developed countries alone have more than $5 trillion lying "idle" on their balance sheets-money that could be invested in
building productive capacity, particularly in sustainable development sectors.
A number of deliverables for investing in sustainable development will be announced at the event.
As the forum is taking place in Geneva for the first time, attendance will also include a large number of leaders from the Swiss private sector.
The topicality of the theme of the forum for the international investment and development communities is reflected in the great number of organisations that have partnered with Unctad for the event such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Labour Organization, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, the United Nations Environment Programme, the World Trade Organization and the World Bank.
