The High Court while receiving a police report on steps taken after the barbaric murder of Rifat Sharif in broad daylight in Barguna, said it doesn’t like extrajudicial killings.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader came up with the observation as deputy attorney general ABM Abdullah Al Mahmud handed over the report to the court and informed about the death of prime accused Nayan Bond in a gunfight with police, reports BSS.
“We don’t like extrajudicial killings. May be law enforcing agencies sometime do such things to save life and out of necessity. But all the law enforcing agencies including police have to be more alert about this,” the court observed.
As the state counsel was informing the court about the death of prime accused Nayan Bond in the shootout with police, the court observed, “People like this Nayan Bond don’t get created in a day. Some people must have patronized them. Some make them criminal by raising people like them.”
The High Court on June 27 had ordered government to issue red alert at all the borders of the country to prevent escape of people those killed a youth in broad daylight in Barguna.
“A man was hacked to death in broad daylight on the street. None but his wife came forward to stop the killers. They were making videos, but did not come forward. It is the failure of people. None protested. If five had come forward, killers would not get such guts,” the court observed on that day.
The court came up with the observations as Supreme Court lawyer Barrister Ruhul Quddus Kazal drew court’s attention to this barbaric incident that took place on June 26.
The court had also asked the state counsel to inform it the government steps taken after that incident.
