GPA-5 achiever murdered in Bandarban

Staff Correspondent, Ctg
A boy, who went missing six days ago, was found dead at Bandarban town yesterday. The boy Himel Das Supam, 15, son of Sunil Das, a former railway officer, and Papia Sen, lived with his family in city's Dewanhat area under Double Mooring Police Station. Mentionable, Supam achieved GPA-5 from Chittagong Government School in this year's SSC examinations. Police arrested two people -- Mahmudul Islam, brother-in-law of Supam's friend Sohel, and Mahmudul's friend Nazrul -- on alleged involvement of kidnapping and killing Supam. Papia, a primary school teacher, said Mahmudul invited Supam over phone on May 8 to visit Meghla in Bandarban with their friends. Supam knew Islam through Sohel, she added. Supam's cousin Sujan Das Partha said Supam last contacted Papia on May 9 saying that he was in Bandarban. When she could not make any contact, Papia lodged a general diary with the police station on May 11. Sub-Inspector Sekandar Hossain of the police station said Mahmudul only informed that he, Supam and some others went up to Meghla Parjatan Kendra in Bandarban on May 9. Police however did not disclose what happened later. “We are trying to find another person Sagor whom Mahmudul mentioned was present,” he said, adding that they probably killed Supam as he recognised them. Sekandar said they recovered Supam's sim card and moneybag from Mahmudul.
