In Dhaka’s Metropolitan Tribunal for the Suppression of Violence Against Children, the parents of murdered child Ramisa Akter gave emotional testimony on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. Abdul Hannan Molla, the victim’s father and the case’s complainant, described returning home after a call from his wife to find crowds gathered outside their building in Pallabi. He recounted discovering blood near the toilet and his daughter’s severed head under a steel bed in the accused’s flat. He said police later completed formalities and he filed the case at the police station.

Ramisa’s mother, Parveen Akter, also testified, recounting that she was cooking when her younger daughter went missing. After hearing screams, she searched the building and found her daughter’s shoes under the accused’s door. Despite repeatedly asking neighbor Swapna Khatun to open the door, she refused. When residents broke in, they found blood in the bathroom. Parveen identified accused Sohel Rana as the killer and claimed his wife Swapna assisted him.

Both parents became emotional during testimony, and the father left court in distress after completing his statement.
