A doctor accused of providing a false forensic report in the Sohagi Jahan Tonu murder case has allegedly attempted to flee abroad. The report states that Dr. Kamda Prasad Saha, former head of the forensic department at Cumilla Medical College and now treasurer of Khulna Medical University, is seeking a no-objection certificate to travel to several SAARC countries, reportedly to escape to the United States and seek political asylum. Tonu’s father, Iar Hossain, urged authorities to detain him and uncover the truth behind the case.

Dr. Saha led the initial and second autopsies of Tonu, a former student of Cumilla Victoria College, and was accused of concealing evidence of assault and issuing misleading findings that sparked public outrage. Family members and citizens have demanded his immediate interrogation and travel restrictions. The case has recently progressed with the arrest of retired army officer Hafizur Rahman and court orders for DNA testing of three suspects.

Calls have been made to suspend Dr. Saha’s travel clearance and place him under surveillance to prevent possible escape as investigations continue.
