Slain blogger Avijit Roy’s father Professor Ajoy Roy suspected that Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology’s (BUET) teacher Farseem Mannan Mohammedy was involved in Avijit’s killing at Dhaka University premises on February 26.
He disclosed his suspicious at a discussion of the Nagorik Samaj held at RC Majmudar auditorium in Dhaka University on Friday.
“Farseem Mannan’s activities seem suspicious. He is the one who organised a discussion at Suhrawardy
Uddyan on the day, near the spot of Avijit killing,” he claimed.
There were at least four strangers present at the discussion, which ended at 8:00pm, said the victim’s father Ajoy Roy.
Members from two organisations ‘Zero to Infinity’ and ‘Pi’ were present there. “Both the groups are allegedly associated with Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islam,” he said.
Ajoy Roy said, “Farseem Mannan’s activities and movements are questionable to me. He arranged the discussion at Suhrawardy Uddyan through facebook. Four to five out of the 11 invited guests participated”.
When those strangers were asked who invited them, they said that it was Farseem. Eventually, they left the place when Avijit arrived, he added.
He claimed that the information was collected from different sources and those were provided to the intelligence agencies as well.
The FBI would be able to find out the killers through applying advanced technology, he hoped, adding the mask of the fundamentalist quarters would be exposed, Prof. Ajoy said.
Blogger and writer Avijit Roy, a Bangladeshi-born US citizen, was brutally killed near Teacher-Student Centre in the capital while he was returning from Ekushey Book Fair on February 26.
