Exactly 12 years have passed since the killing of Tanwir Muhammad Taqi in Narayanganj, yet justice remains elusive, as the investigating body, Rab, has yet to submit the charge sheet to the court.

One year into the brutal murder of Tanwir Muhammad Taqi, Rab said it had cracked the murder mystery, identified the killers and even prepared a draft probe report.

Twenty-six eminent personalities today sought Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s intervention to hold the trial of the Narayanganj teenager Tanwir Muhammad Taqi murder case immediately.

The headline of a report by this daily marking the sixth anniversary of the murder of 17-year-old Tanwir Muhammad Taqi succinctly captured the absurdity of the investigation that ensued in its wake, calling it “a never-ending probe”.

“Investigation is going on.” This is what officials say every year when journalists contact them for comments on the anniversary of Taqi murder. And six years have passed this way.

Taqi's killers could not be brought to justice even after five years because of the culture of impunity prevailing in the country, noted personalities said yesterday.

The lax progress in the Taqi murder case is deeply disturbing. Five years have passed since the seventeen-year-old boy was brutally killed in Narayanganj and Rab, the investigating agency in this case, has not yet been able to submit the charge sheet. It is frustrating to hear the same thing over and over again from the Rab officials that they would submit the probe report soon. How soon is soon enough?

For Taqi's parents, the last five years have been a long, agonising wait for justice. And they have no clue as to when that wait would be over.

Everything about the Taqi murder case screams of injustice, an injustice that is beginning to question the credibility of the administration.

Three years have passed since Tanwir Muhammad Taqi, a bright teenage boy, was brutally murdered in Narayanganj, but investigators

WE would like to add our voice to that of the eminent citizens in their plea made to the prime minister calling for proper investigation to find out the real culprits in the gruesome killing of a young boy in Narayanganj.
