Mysterious death of Islamic University (IU) meritorious student Ulfat Ara Tinni had created sparks among the students and local people of Jhenaidiah and Kushtia. Hundreds of students had formed human chain and demanded exemplary punishment to the killers of Tinni on Friday evening.
Family sources said Tinni, the youngest daughter of a freedom fighter late Yusuf Ali, along with her mother Halima Khatun and elder sister Minni were staying at their house at Sheikhpara village under Shailkupa upazila of Jhenaidah, adjacent to Islamic University.
At about 10.30 PM of Thursday, businessman Jamirul Islam, ex husband of Minni entered in to their house with a gang of local hoodlums to bring back his ex wife Minni. As Tinni had protested the proposal, they ran vandalism in the house. About two hours later in the midnight, the gang once again entered in the house and went at the upper stair of the house where Tinnin was staying. The gang members left the house within a few minutes.
When Tinnis mother and sister were calling her repeatedly, could not receive any respond. They saw Tinni was hanging with the ceiling fan in her room. The family sources said Tinnis elder sister Minni was married to some Jamirul and she was divorced. Since then Tinni was living with her mother and sister at the same area where there was no male member in the family.
Tinni’s mother Halima Khatun said Jamirul had tortured Tinni at her room on the first floor and hanged her with the fan after killing. She (Tinni) was preparing to appear in the upcoming BCS examination.

They are eyeing to Jamirul and his cohorts so that he could not hide anyway. The body was kept at Sheikhpara after a most mortem examination at Kushtia general hospital on Friday afternoon.
