Dhaka: Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury today announced that the charge sheet in the murder case of journalist Asaduzzaman Tuhin, which took place in Gazipur, will be submitted in the shortest possible time.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Jahangir expressed regret over the incident, emphasizing that it was unimaginable and that most of the perpetrators have already been apprehended. He assured that the government is committed to ensuring the swift submission of the charge sheet.
He made these remarks while addressing journalists after a core committee meeting on law and order at the Home Ministry in Bangladesh Secretariat. Jahangir emphasized the government’s dedication to securing justice for the victim, although he acknowledged that no action could compensate for the loss of life.
Highlighting the broader societal implications, Jahangir reflected on the nation’s growing impatience and lack of tolerance. He lamented that no one attempted to save the journalist during the attack, a stark contrast to past practices where individuals would intervene despite personal risk.
He criticized the current trend of individuals documenting incidents on mobile devices rather than intervening. Jahangir called for awareness campaigns to foster a more proactive and conscious public, suggesting that the media could play a crucial role in this effort.
