The DNA test conducted by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on the body of Sohagi Jahan Tonu has found rape evidence.

"We've found profile of semen of three men in the dresses and underwear of Tonu in the DNA test conducted at the CID Dhaka laboratory," news agency UNB said quoting Special Police Super of Cimilla CID Dr Nazmul Karim Khan on Monday night. He said they matched the blood found on the dresses and underwear of Tonu with her teeth to get sure that the clothes belonged to the college girl. "We've almost reached the final stage to identify the killers," said the CID official. Responding to a question whether they have been able to match the DNA test with the suspects, Nazmul Karim said, "Through collecting various information, mobile phone SMS and interrogation of a good number of people, we're now at the stage to arrest the accused," UNB reports. Earlier, doctors at the Forensic Department of Comilla Medical College Hospital in their first autopsy report did not find any sign of rape before the death of the college girl.

A second-year history student of Comilla Victoria Government College and a cultural activist, Tonu was found dead about 400 yards from her house inside Comilla Cantonment on the night of March 20, according to her family members.
