Meanwhile, the viscera report of the first autopsy conducted on the body of Tonu reached Comilla from Chittagong on Sunday. A CID team grilled Peyar Ahmed, 22, son of an honorary Lt of Bangladesh Army at Mynamati Cantonment at its Comilla office.
They also quizzed those who took Tonu to the hospital, the physician who declared Tonu dead upon arrival and the hospital ayah who was on duty at that time. After the interrogation, Peyar, a private university student, was taken to the spot inside the cantonment where Tonu’s body was found. Later, he was dropped at his residence, a CID source said.
Earlier, Rapid Action Battalion and police also interrogated Peyar Ahmed over the gruesome murder.
Quoting Tonu’s cousin, Laiju Jahan, the CID members said Peyar used to tease Tonu over mobile phone.
