UNB, Dhaka :
Expressing his satisfaction over the High Court verdict in the sensational seven-murder cases of Narayanganj, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam on Tuesday described the punishment as exemplary one.
“The High Court upheld the death sentence of 15 convicts, including Nur Hossain and three Rab officials, and commuted that of 11 others to life term. The HC also upheld the
punishment awarded by the lower to nine other convicts. Certainly, this is an exemplary punishment,” he said while talking to reporters after the judgment.
About the HC observations, the chief state law officer said the court described Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) as an elite force which is working to protect people’s lives and property. “The entire force can’t be blamed for the misdeed of a section,” he said citing the observations.
