National Human Rights Commission Chairman Kazi Reazul Hoque has asserted that the commission’s probe body will be able to unearth the mysterious death of UPDF-backed indigenous student leader Romel Chakma soon. “The committee members will talk to the locals at Naniarchar bazar from where Romel Chakma was picked up by the army personnel,” NHRC boss Reazul told the Dhaka Tribune Thursday, adding that the army personnel concerned would be summoned too. On April 6, Romel’s father Gyan Ranjan Chakma wrote to the NHRC chairman demanding justice for the “inhuman torture” inflicted upon his son by the army personnel. He was picked up by the local army personnel on April 5 and handed over to the police in critical condition in the evening. The next morning, police and army personnel admitted him to the CMCH where he died on April 19.
