Two Bangladeshi students of the University of South Florida, Jamil Ahmed Limon and Nahida Sultana Brishti, were killed in what prosecutors described as a planned murder. According to a report by local outlet Tampa Bay 28, the accused, 26-year-old Hisham Abugarbiyah, has been charged with murder, and prosecutors have requested that he be held without bail.

Court documents state that Hisham attacked Limon and Brishti inside his apartment using a sharp weapon, inflicting multiple fatal injuries. After the killings, he allegedly attempted to erase evidence by placing Limon’s body in a black plastic bag and dumping it near the Howard Frankland Bridge. Investigators found that Hisham destroyed the victims’ belongings and that his phone and car GPS data placed him at the crime scenes.

Forensic tests confirmed the victims’ DNA on recovered blood samples. The autopsy found multiple stab wounds on Limon’s body, which was in a decomposed state, and his death was officially ruled a homicide.

Brishti had gone missing along with another student, Jamil Limon, whose mutilated body was found on a bridge near Tampa on Friday, April 24. Following that discovery, police arrested Limon’s 26-year-old roommate, Hisham Abugaribeh, on charges of premeditated murder of both victims and possession of a weapon. Court documents indicate Limon’s body was found decomposed inside multiple black trash bags. Investigators believe Brishti’s body was disposed of in a similar manner.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the motive behind the killings, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Former Badarganj municipality mayor Uttam Kumar Saha has been accused of irregularities and forgery for allegedly issuing Bangladeshi birth certificates to two Indian nationals and a death certificate for their mother. The complaint, filed with the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in Rangpur, claims that the certificates were issued during Saha’s tenure. Despite multiple complaints since 2023, no effective action has reportedly been taken, leading to public frustration.

According to the complaint, the two brothers, Manoj Kumar Saha and Rajib Kumar Saha, are residents of Barrackpore in West Bengal, India, and hold Indian passports. Their mother, Arati Rani Saha, allegedly died in Kolkata, yet a Bangladeshi death certificate was issued in her name in 2019. Locals allege that the forged documents were used to secure ownership of valuable property in Badarganj with the help of influential figures.

Saha has denied the allegations, claiming the certificates were based on earlier records from 1995, though no such documentation has been found. The ACC has stated that an investigation is ongoing, but the lack of visible progress has caused local disappointment.

The defense opposed the request, citing Chowdhury’s health issues and previous eight days of remand without clear investigative results.

The court granted three days of remand after hearing both sides. Earlier, on 11 April, Chowdhury had been placed on a four-day remand but was hospitalized the next day due to illness. He was arrested on 23 March from Baridhara in Dhaka in connection with the same case.

Authorities have been urged to prevent Dr. Kamda Prasad Saha, accused of issuing a false forensic report in the Sohagi Jahan Tonu murder case, from leaving Bangladesh. The report alleges that Saha, now serving as treasurer at Khulna Medical University, is seeking a no-objection certificate to travel to several SAARC countries, with suspicions that he intends to flee to the United States and seek political asylum. Tonu’s father and mother both accused him of falsifying the autopsy report and demanded his immediate arrest.

Saha was the head of the forensic department at Comilla Medical College when Tonu was murdered.

Local residents and students have called for his travel clearance to be suspended and for him to be placed under surveillance.

The renewed attention follows recent progress in the murder investigation, including the remand and imprisonment of a retired army officer and DNA testing orders for three suspects.
