"We have lost our daughter Shakila but we want exemplary punishment of the gang so that no body dares to commit such crime again and no parents lose their daughter in this manner," said father Shafiq Uddin at a press conference at Crime Reporters' Association office in the city.

He said Shakila, a student of class nine of Waziuddin School at Kamrangirchar, committed suicide due to repeated teasing and harassment by a group of local miscreants on her way to school and whenever she went out of her house.

Shafiq alleged that no charge sheet has been framed against the members of the gang although a case was filed with Kamrangirchar Police Station three months back.

"Since then the guardians of the accused kept on threatening us to withdraw the case," he added.

"In the face of their continuous threats I had to file a general diary (GD) with Kamrangirchar Police Station," Shafiq said.

Shamsunnahar, mother of the victim, said, " The guardians of the accused had been threatening us saying if we do not withdraw the case, they would file a counter case against our only son to force us to withdraw the case to save him from being imprisoned."

She also questioned the sincerity of police in arresting and submitting the charge sheet against the accused.

Meanwhile, the High Court (HC) yesterday granted anticipatory bail to all the seven accused in the case till the submission of the charge sheet.

When contacted, Investigation Officer of the case Sub- Inspector Farid said, "I tried my best to arrest the accused, but if the HC grants bail what I can do. Still, I would try to submit the charge sheet as early as possible."
