A magistrate is conducting an investigation into the incident of Teknaf municipality councilor Ekramul Huq’s death, said Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.
The minister revealed the information while speaking to reporters at his residence on Saturday.
“If the magistrate confirms the death as murder, necessary legal steps will be initiated,” he also said.
The minister assured that anyone who is guilty will be brought under justice in case of violation the law.
Ekram was killed in a ‘shootout’ with RAB on May 26. Later, the elite force claimed him as a drug dealer.
However, Ekram’s wife Ayesha Begum on Thursday in a press conference alleged that her husband was ‘murdered in cold blood’ in the name of ‘crossfire’.
