Ayat’s father gets death threat

Ayat’s father Sohail Rana on Friday afternoon claimed that he received an anonymous threat to be cut into pieces like his daughter.

“Your daughter was cut into six pieces, now it will be you,” was written in the WhatsApp message from an unknown number, Rana told the media on Friday.

Regarding the matter, Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) Chittagong Metro Inspector Manoj Dey, also the investigation officer of the case, said that Alina’s father has been advised to file a General Diary to the police station.

“The matter is being investigated,” he added.

Earlier on Thursday, PBI recovered the severed head of five-year-old Ayat, who was abducted and murdered in Chattogram, from a canal in the port city.

Illias Khan, PBI inspector in Chattogram, said that they recovered the head from a canal near a sluice gate in EPZ area on Akmal Ali Road, following information from the accused Abir.

He said two teams of 25 PBI personnel have been searching for Ayat’s remains for the last three days at the spot where the remains were dumped.

“Ayat’s face has been disfigured and it is difficult to identify, but it should be her head,” he said.

Earlier on Wednesday, Ayat’s remains were recovered from the canal on Akmal Ali Road in Chattogram city.

On November 25, PBI arrested Abir Ali (20) for kidnapping and murdering Alina Islam Ayat, 10 days after the child went missing.
