Rangpur: Disaster Management and Relief Minister Asadul Habib Dulu MP has reaffirmed the government's unwavering commitment to a 'zero tolerance' policy towards all murders, particularly after a heinous quadruple murder in Rangpur.

According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Minister Dulu emphasized that the government and police are working diligently to ensure that the investigation leads to a prompt charge sheet and exemplary punishment for the culprits. The quadruple murder, involving the retired teacher and his family, was allegedly committed by drug addicts whom the teacher had reportedly confronted. The police arrested two primary suspects, who have since confessed to the crime in court.
The minister highlighted the government's track record in promptly completing trials for high-profile murder cases, underscoring its commitment to breaking the culture of impunity. This includes the swift trial initiatives undertaken in cases like Lamisa and Nandini. He assured that similar urgency and importance are being accorded to the Rangpur murders, with the charge sheet expected soon.
Residents of Rangpur and the victims' families are hopeful for justice, as law enforcement agencies have made significant progress in the investigation. Minister Dulu expressed confidence that the mystery surrounding the murders would be unraveled shortly, bringing the perpetrators to justice.
During his visit, the minister engaged with local authorities, including the Rangpur District Council Administrator and the Rangpur Development Authority Chairman, to discuss the ongoing investigation. The visit has been perceived as a demonstration of the government's commitment to the victims' families and a reassurance of justice being served.
The tragic incident, which saw the family of retired teacher Ganapati Chakraborty strangled to death, has prompted widespread concern and calls for justice.
