On behalf of the government, Education Adviser Professor C R Abrar visited the bereaved family in Mymensingh to convey the government’s sympathy and assurance of support during this difficult time, said a press release of the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing.

The education adviser reiterated that the killing was a heinous criminal act with no justification and no place in Bangladeshi society.

Law enforcement agencies have arrested 12 individuals in connection with the crime, and investigations are ongoing.

The government remains fully committed to ensuring the safety, dignity, and equal protection of all citizens, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or background. It calls upon all communities, institutions, and leaders to reject violence, resist attempts to create division or unrest, and uphold restraint, humanity, and respect for the law. On behalf of the Office of the Chief Adviser, Professor Abrar confirmed that financial and welfare assistance would be provided to the family of Dipu Chandra Das and that the relevant authorities would remain in close contact with them in the coming period.
The adviser reiterated the Interim Government’s resolve to protect all citizens and to ensure that justice is served.
