grabbed credit for the murder of Sunil Gomez, 60, according to US-based jihadist monitoring website SITE Intelligence Group. It is the 19th attack since IS made the first claim in September last year after the murder of an Italian citizen in Dhaka.
IS said that their men had carried out the murder of five people since April when the Lion of Islam organization claimed that they had established a base in the country with a view to attacking India and Myanmar to avenge the persecution on Moslems in the region.
The government, however, rubbishes the claim of IS activities in the country, and instead blames local banned outfit Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) for the recent assassination'>assassinations of non-Moslems and non-Sunnis, and attacks on their worshipping places.
Sunil used to stay with his wife at Christian Palli and ran his grocery shop beside the house in the area which is thinly populated. The place is half a kilometre from Lalpur-Bonpara road. His only daughter Swapna Gomez lives in the same village with her husband.
SI Ashraf of Baraigram police said that they had detained one of the tenants of Sunil’s house, Sobuj, for interrogation. The other family residing at the house could not be traced.
Members of police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Rapid Action Battalion
(RAB) and Detective Branch (DB) are dealing with the case. Senior officials of different law enforcement agencies also visited the spot.Meanwhile,
...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently...
members of Hindu-Buddhist-Christian Oikya Gay Pareehad and other minority groups formed a human chain at Bonpara Bazar in the afternoon and issued a seven-day ultimatum for the arrest of the killers.
Family members and Christian community leaders said that Sunil Gomez was a very gentle and peaceful person. He had no enemy.
According to locals, Sunil opened his shop after returning from the nearest bazar with some goods. Later locals discovered him throat slit with sharp weapons.
There is a two and a half feet high wall in the shop. Sunil was found holding Tk83 in his fist. For this, the Sherlocks think that the killers first bought some products and then dragged him on the wall while paying the money to slit his throat.
A woman informed the locals about the murder while she was going to some place on a rickshaw van.
The victim’s daughter Swapna said that his father had no enmity with anyone. She filed a case against unnamed persons with Baraigram police around 10:30pm, OC (investigation) Imran Hossain told the Dhaka Tribune.
Bonpara municipality Mayor KM Zakir Hossain echoed Swapna. He demanded neutral investigation into the murder and exemplary punishment to the killers.
Father Bikash Hubart Reberu, the priest at the Dharmapolli Church, said that it was beyond his imagination why Sunil had been killed.
DB OC Abdul Hyi said that a wound of sharp weapon was seen on Sunil’s neck. He said that they had interrogated some locals over the matter but got no clue since no one witnessed the incident.
The body was sent to NATOre General Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
