Terming the killing of Rifat Sharif in broad daylight in Barguna as a very shocking incident, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said none of the killers will be spared.
The home minister said two persons have already been arrested and other persons who are involved in the gruesome murder must be brought to book.
“The Barguna incident is a very shocking incident, police aren’t sitting idle and the cause of the incident must be made public after an inclusive probe”, he told the media after attending an award giving ceremony of Bangladesh Police Women Network in Chattogram on Thursday (Jun 27).
“I don’t think that this murder incident demonstrates the overall deterioration in the country’s law and order situation,” he said while replying to a question on the country’s law and order situation.
Police have launched drives to arrest the killers, he said, adding that the capacity of the police force has improved much compared to a decade ago.
“Police have started their work to catch the offenders. The capacity of the police force has increased from what it was ten years back,” he added.
Rifat Sharif, 22, was hacked to death by miscreants in front of the main gate of Barguna College Wednesday (Jun 26).
The incident was captured on a surveillance camera which showed miscreants hitting Rifat indiscriminately while his wife was desperately trying to save him.
Dulal Sharif, Rifat's father, filed a case against 12 people on Thursday.
Replying to a question on Rohingyas, Kamal said steps are underway to build fence in and around the camps so that the Rohingyas cannot go out from the camps and indulge themselves in wrongdoings.
Speaking of female police force, the minister said there are 2300 women working in the police department and of them, 72 are serving in the rank of superintendent of police.
The annual award giving ceremony was held for the first time in Chattogram.
