It is known that the name of the deceased youth is Tofajjal. His house is in Kanthaltali Union of Patharghata Upazila of Barguna District. It is said that he was an orphan. Some pictures and videos of this incident have been spread on social media. There has already been a storm of controversy over this barbaric murder. Producer Ashfaq Nipun spoke about this topic.
Ashfaq Nipun wrote in a post on Facebook verified account at 4:30 pm on Thursday (September 19), '
I only think of their mothers. Yesterday (September 18) a mentally deranged young man named Tofazzal was beaten to death by some students of Dhaka University. I wonder what Tofazzal's mother would have done if she saw that?'
'I knew he had died before. But it could also be that he was standing 3 feet away from Tofajjal, he was feeling helpless seeing that he could not save his son! Maybe he was hoping to see the boy eating rice, that the boy will not be harmed and will survive this journey? Maybe even after seeing the level of torture, he was pleading to God that the boy should die, that the boy should not go through any more pain?'
He wrote, 'I also think about Abrar Fahad's mother. When Abrar was being beaten with a stamp, his mother would have suffered if he was there! I think about Biswajit's mother, what could she have done to save her son if she was in front of him when he was angry? I think of Chhatra League worker Paralym Masud who was killed in Rajshahi, when he could not get water even after asking for water, would his mother have run to fetch water for her son if he was there? Or did not go to fetch water for fear of killing his son if he moved? Or the death of Didar, the leader of the volunteer party in Gopalganj? If his mother had been around at that time, could she have saved the boy?'

The maker wrote, 'I only think of those mothers. Those who from conception for 9 months give birth to a child and nurture that child for the whole life, grow up and one day find out that someone has killed their son or daughter. I wonder what goes through them. I don't get the floor. Everything seems dark.'
