Taking part in the human chain, Runi's brother Nawsher Noman expressed his disappointment that even one month after the murder, the killers are still at large. He demanded immediate arrest of the perpetrators.

Expressing disappointment at the failure to arrest the killers, journalist leader Manjurul Ahsan Khan Bulbul said, "We have been tired of having patient."

"We, the colleagues, cannot stand before the mother of Runi. We cannot stand before the son of Sagar-Runi," he added.

Another journalist leader, Shah Alamgir, said, "We have come here to express our hatred as the murders have not been arrested in a month."
