Daughters of a couple killed in Sylhet’s Raynagar triple murder held a human chain on Friday afternoon at Shahi Eidgah, demanding the swift arrest of the real perpetrators and justice. Organised by residents of Greater Shahi Eidgah, the programme warned of broader protests if authorities fail to show visible investigative progress and bring those responsible under the law within three days.

The victims’ daughters, Tahmina Sattar Eni and Selina Sultana Shikha, called for exemplary punishment for their parents’ killers. Family members said three people were brutally killed in the Mitali area of Raynagar on August 12, an incident that shocked Sylhet residents and Bangladeshi expatriates at home and abroad.

Speakers said law enforcement agencies had offered differing explanations for the killings, including a romantic relationship, alleged mistreatment, and efforts to obtain money from theft or house rent. They said these changing accounts had created serious doubts about the actual motive. The family demanded a fair, impartial and credible investigation, while urging that no innocent person be harassed or punished. They also alleged that no visible progress had emerged nearly three weeks after the killings.
