BD Digest correspondent
Various sensational information has started to emerge about the political identity and past activities of Sohel, the main killer and main accused in the sensational rape and murder of child Ramisa in Pallabi. Local residents and eyewitnesses claim that Sohel was known in the area as an active worker of Jamaat-e-Islami.

According to local sources, Sohel was seen directly in the field supporting the Jamaat-e-Islami candidate at the local ward level in the last election. He went to various residential buildings and distributed leaflets and pamphlets on behalf of the candidate.

A local resident named Rubel Molla said that during the elections, Sohel regularly sought votes for the scales. At that time, he would go from house to house and try to make the common people aware by talking about various religious references of Islam and the rules of the Quran.

The same tone was heard in the voice of a domestic worker named Rahima Khatun. She said that during the last election, the accused Sohel came to her husband and asked for votes. Rahima Khatun said that on that day, he told us that if we believe in Islam, then we should definitely vote on the scale mark.

Meanwhile, a search of the social media (Facebook) profile used by the accused Sohel revealed that he used to share various contents of extremist and fundamentalist ideas. On Facebook, he used to regularly share videos and religious clips of Sheikh Ahmadullah and Mizanur Rahman Azhari’s sermons. In addition, evidence of his multiple posts and political activities on behalf of Usman Hadi was also found on his Facebook profile.

It is worth noting that the child named Ramisa was brutally murdered after being raped in Pallavi. Ever since Sohel was arrested for his involvement in the incident, his political and extremist affiliation has become the talk of the town. Local residents have expressed strong anger in the area over the incident and demanded exemplary punishment for the accused.
