There are examples where sensational cases, like the one over the killing of Feni madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi, were cracked in a short period of time. All the 16 accused were sentenced to death on October 24, 2019, just months after Nusrat was set on fire at a Feni madrasa.

But the slow pace of investigation in these four cases questions the integrity of the investigators, causing frustration in the victim families over getting justice.

“Justice will be served one day but perhaps I will not be able to see it in my lifetime,” said a frustrated Saleha Munir, mother of Sagar Sarowar yesterday.
