A second-grade student of Popular Model School in Dhaka’s Pallabi area, Ramisa Akter, was killed in a brutal incident that has sparked widespread anger from the capital to the suspect’s home village in Singra, Natore. The accused, Sohel Rana, is currently in Dhaka Central Jail along with his wife Swapna Akter, who is alleged to have assisted him. The nation awaits the upcoming police charge sheet and court proceedings, with demands for swift justice.

Investigations revealed that Rana, a 34-year-old mechanic from Maheshchandrapur Southpara in Singra, had long been involved in theft, drug use, and online gambling. Locals said he operated under the political protection of influential Awami League member Rafiqul, which emboldened his criminal behavior. After accumulating heavy debts and being disowned by his family, Rana moved to Dhaka, where his violent tendencies continued.

Local representatives confirmed that no vandalism occurred at Rana’s family home, as earlier rumors suggested. Residents and officials have called for the harshest punishment, emphasizing that political influence must not obstruct justice in this case.
