AL leaders wife dies of burn injuries

Police suspect foul play; woman tortured in Pabna for dowry dies

Star Report
The wife of an Awami League leader in Natore's Baraigram upazila died on Friday from burn injuries she sustained at her inlaws' on Monday.
Kamrun Nahar Shelly, 45, the third wife of Abdur Razzak, general secretary of Joyari Union AL, died at a local clinic on Friday morning, four days after she sustained burn injuries.
She was taken to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH) after the incident on June 3, and was later shifted to a local clinic after her condition deteriorated, police said.
They also alleged that Razzak did not inform them about the arson and tried to secretly bury the body of Shelly, also a member of the Baraigram Upazila Unit AL, yesterday morning.
Dilip Kumar Das, officer-in-charge (OC) of Baraigram Police Station, said that, on information, a police team stopped the burial and sent the body to Natore Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy.
The OC said that when the police team intervened and queried Razzak, he initially told them that his wife sustained burn injuries in a gas cylinder explosion.
Upon inspection of Razzak's house, police, however, found the cylinder intact, giving rise to suspicion.
They also recovered the victim's burnt clothes which smelled like kerosene, the OC said.
Razzak then came up with another version of the incident in the afternoon, claiming that
his wife committed suicide by pouring kerosene on herself, Dilip said, adding that Razzak, when asked, could not come up with a reason for why she would do so.
Asked about the two different statements he gave to police regarding the incident, Razzak responded by saying he was ill and could not talk much.
Harun-Or-Rashid, additional superintendent of police (Baraigram Circle) said, a lot of suspicion surrounds the incident, but no one has filed a case yet.
Police will file a case if the autopsy report suggests it was a murder, he said.
Meanwhile in Pabna, Mahamuda Akhter Meem, a housewife who was allegedly physically assaulted and strangled for dowry in her inlaw's house in Sadar upazila, succumbed to her
injuries on Friday after fighting for life for 17 days at RMCH.
The victim's family filed a case accusing five people, including Meem's husband, with Ataikula Police Station after the incident on May 21.
Police, however, could not arrest any of the accused.
Md Moniruzzaman, OC of the station, said, "The accused have gone into hiding and police are trying to arrest them."
Speaking to our Pabna Correspondent, Meem's brother Mehedi Hasan alleged Meem was tortured in her laws' house for dowry and they had recently made a fresh demand ofTk one lakh. He added that they beat her up and strangled her as they failed to pay the amount.
