All suspects in Rifat murder case traced: IGP
|
[Dhaka Tribune] Four days after the brutal killing of Barguna youth Rifat Sharif, Inspector General of Police Mohammad Javed Patwary has said all of the suspected killers have been traced.
"As many as eight suspects have been arrested. Police also identified all of the suspects using CCTV footages and other tools. Rest of them will be arrested soon," he told the news hounds after opening the SP office in Rangpur yesterday.
The police chief said: "Check-posts have been set up on roads, waterways and airways including borders to stop the suspects fleeing from the country.
"Images of the suspected killers have been sent [to the police] across the country including borders," he added.
However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
the two primarily accused are still on the run though high government officials, including several ministers, say that law enforcement is working round the clock to arrest all of the culprits.
ACTION IF NEGLIGENCE BY COPS FOUND, SAYS HOME MINISTER
Most recently yesterday, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said action will be taken if any member of the police force is found negligent in the murder case.
"Those involved in the incident won't be spared and a bit more time will be needed to arrest the attackers," he said, talking to news hounds at the Secretariat.
TWO MORE ACCUSED ARRESTED
Police have arrested two more accused in the case, including one alleged member of the group which planned and carried out the attack on Rifat Sharif.
The two most recently arrested were identified as Tanvir, 23, and Sagor, 22, both suspected of involvement in the brutal murder incident, said Md Maruf Hossain, superintendent of Barguna police.
He said that suspect Sagor had recently cleared the police constable recruitment exam.
HC CALLS FOR PATIENCE
Two separate High Court benches yesterday refused to hear a writ petition that sought their directive to law enforcement to arrest all accused in the murder case, within 24 hours.
The bench of Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury and Justice Md Ashraful Kamal declined to hear the petition, saying that law enforcement has reportedly arrested some of the accused and are trying to catch the others.
"Police are working to arrest all the accused persons. Have patience," the bench said.
Another High Court bench of Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Razik-Al-Jalil, also declined to hear the same petition.
On June 26, Rifat Sharif, 22, was hacked to death by several people‐in front of his wife Ayesha Siddiqua Minni‐near Barguna Government College in Barguna town, in broad daylight. The incident sparked mass outrage, and shock across the country.
