A complaint had been made against her by the man's wife, Shilpi  Begum, at a makeshift village court, or shalish, presided over by senior  community members.  Begum has now been arrested on suspicion of murder alongside three  villagers including imam Mofiz Uddin, who allegedly issued the edict.  Another 14 villagers who are accused of taking part in the public  lashing, or of being complicit in the girl's murder by failing to  prevent her from being whipped, are still being hunted by police.  "What sort of justice is this? My daughter has been beaten to death  in the name of justice," Mosammet's father, Dorbesh Khan, 60, told the  BBC.<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/10/bangladesh-whipping-three-doctors-investigated?INTCMP=SRCH" target="_blank">http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/10/bangladesh-whipping-three-doctors-investigated?INTCMP=SRCH</a><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/10/bangladesh-whipping-three-doctors-investigated?INTCMP=SRCH" target="_blank">http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/10/bangladesh-whipping-three-doctors-investigated?INTCMP=SRCH</a></blockquote>
