HC-REACTION-MURDER-BARGUNA
Issue red alert at border to stop escaping of Barguna killers: HC
DHAKA, June 27, 2019 (BSS) – The High Court (HC) today ordered government
to issue red alert at all the borders of the country to prevent escape of
people those killed a youth in broad daylight in Barguna.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and
Justice KM Kamrul Kader passed the order.
“The incident is very sad. Tell inspector general of police to issue red
alert at borders, so that they (killers) cannot cross the borders,” the court
told Deputy Attorney General Abdullah-Al-Mahmud Bashar.
“A man was hacked to death in broad daylight on the street. None but his
wife came forward to stop the killers. They were making videos, but did not
come forward. It is the failure of people. None protested. If five had come
forward, killers would not get such guts,” the court observed.
The court came up with the observations as Supreme Court lawyer Barrister
Ruhul Quddus Kazal drew court’s attention to this barbaric incident that took
place on June 26.
The court also asked the state counsel to inform it the government steps
taken after that incident.
The deputy attorney general then said already an accused have been
detained and operation is going on to arrest the rest.
