Police yesterday submitted the autopsy report of Quamrul Islam Majnu, killed in a Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) action on May 18, to a Rajshahi metropolitan court that says injury marks were found on the victim’s body.
“The death occurred due to hemorrhage resulted from injuries which are homicidal in nature,” reads the report signed by a three-member medical board.

According to the report, nine injury marks including one in the stomach were found on Majnu’s body.

The report corroborated the investigation report prepared by First Class Magistrate Jonendranath Sarkar on May 20 that also found innumerable torture marks on the victim’s body.

Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP) Deputy Commissioner Mahbubur Rahman said, “It has been proved in the report that it was a murder. Our next investigation will be to find out the killers.”

Meanwhile, the five-member probe committee comprising Magistrate Jonendranath Sarkar and Asif Ansari, intelligence director of Rab headquarters, will submit its report on Saturday.

The victim’s brother, Piarul Islam, in a case filed with Boalia Police Station alleged that Majnu was killed due to torture by Rab members and their associates at Chhotobongram Purbopara in Rajshahi town on May 18.

Majnu’s family members demanded a judicial inquiry into the incident. They alleged that the investigation team talked neither to them nor the eyewitnesses. But they met some selected people of other areas.
