In Osmaninagar upazila of Sylhet, the family of slain Jubo Dal activist Turon Mia has expressed anger as no suspects have yet been arrested in connection with his alleged murder. Turon was found dead at his home on June 19 after reportedly protesting irregularities in a local government road project. His younger brother, Elaich Mia, broke down in tears before the Prime Minister’s Foreign Affairs Adviser Humayun Kabir on July 1, pleading for justice. The adviser later instructed the Sylhet police superintendent to ensure a proper investigation.
According to the family, influential local figures are attempting to portray the killing as a natural death to conceal the truth. They claim Turon had previously filed a written complaint on June 6 after being attacked by neighbors, but police did not record the case due to pressure. Turon allegedly refused to withdraw his complaint despite pressure from local mediators.
Police officials stated that senior authorities are aware of the case and that a detective team is working to identify the real culprits. The family continues to demand a transparent investigation and exemplary punishment for those responsible.
