Different rights bodies, including Naripokkho and the Human Rights Forum Bangladesh (HRFB), have demanded a proper investigation into the unnatural death of Preeti Urang, who used to work as a domestic help at the residence of a journalist.
In a statement on Monday, Naripokkho urged the law enforcement agencies to bring the accused to justice through an impartial investigation into the death of the ethnic girl.
Preeti, a 15-year-old, died after she fell from the 8th floor of a building on Shajahan Road in the capital’s Mohammadpur area on 6 February. Preeti was serving as a domestic help at the home of Daily Star executive editor Syed Ashfaqul Haque.
Police detained Haque along with his wife Tania Khandaker, daughter Afrin Haque, son Syed Ahnaf Mahmud, his sister-in-law Rajia Khandaker, and her husband Al-Razi Mahbub.
Naripokkho, a women's rights advocacy platform, has made an appeal to the government, police administration, and judicial department that every guilty person should be brought to justice by uncovering the true facts.
The organization demanded that even a convict cannot get away with any kind of influence or loophole in the law and to take effective measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
Meanwhile, the HRFB has expressed deep concern over the death of domestic worker Preeti Urang.
In a statement on Monday, the civil society platform demanded a ‘fair and impartial investigation’ and trial of this incident.
HRFB also demanded the necessary security for Preeti's family.
