Chittagong Metropolitan Band Association (CMBA) yesterday formed a human chain in Chittagong city demanding immediate arrest of the killers of musician Saidul Islam.
On early Monday, Saidul, 25, a student of electrical engineering department of Chittagong Polytechnic Institute and also the lead guitarist of a local band “Chhutiâ€, was killed allegedly by muggers in Mehedibagh area of the port city.
Saidul's father lodged a murder case with Kotwali Police Station on that day.
Members of some 10 to 15 local band groups participated in the human chain at Cheragi Pahar Intersection around 4:30pm.
Speakers at the programme alleged that police were showing negligence in taking steps to arrest the people involved in the killing.
Police were wasting time in the name of investigation, they said.
Kotwali Police Station Sub-Inspector Kamruzzaman, however, said they were trying to arrest the persons involved in the murder.
They were yet to find out any clue to the incident, he said.
Meanwhile, residents of CDA Colony and students of the polytechnic institute jointly brought out a procession from Mehedibagh to Cheragi Pahar to press home the same demand around 2:00pm.
