Three-day Sagar-Runi family exhibition ends
“Crime scene, do not cross.†The black letters on a yellow plastic tape in Drik Gallery made the visitors feel like being in the middle of a crime scene--that of the murder of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi.
Behind the yellow tape were no bodies, though, but souvenirs of a happy family. There were photos of their wedding, drawings of the five-year-old son Megh, and pictures of the colourful memories of the family's stay in Germany.
Even the camera that had documented the daily family life was there. Most of the photos were taken by Sagar and Runi themselves.
A three-day family photo exhibition had showcased these in Drik Gallery since February 11, the first anniversary of the killing of Sagar-Runi.
“We only have these photos as the last remnants of these two people,†family members wrote in a press release. “We have come here to link our sufferings to those of the people of Bangladesh, who cried for us in the last year.â€
Sagar, a news editor at Maasranga TV, and his wife Runi, a senior reporter for ATN Bangla, were murdered in their residence in the capital on February 11, 2012.
