UNB, Dhaka :
Home Minister Assaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Wednesday claimed that the two slain BCL leaders were killed in Dhaka and Magura on Tuesday in gunfights, not crossfire.
“It’s not correct they were killed in crossfire…Police and Rab said they were killed in separate gunfights,” the Home Minster said. Assaduzzaman was talking to reporters after an international conference on ‘Restorative justice: from crime prevention to conflict transformation’ at Sonargaon Hotel in the city in the morning.
Replying to a question, the Home Minister said criminal, whoever he or she is, will be brought to justice. “We won’t spare anybody in this regard…whether they’re members of Chhatra League, Chhatra Dal or other parties,” he added.
