Dulal reiterated his demand at a press conference in Barguna press club on Friday noon. He insisted that Minni was involved in the killing, reports UNB.
In a prepared statement, he said an influential group has been trying to divert the investigation.

Rifat Sharif, 22, was attacked with sharp weapons near the main gate of Barguna Government College on July 26. In the footage of the incident, Minni appeared to be trying to protect him during the broad daylight attack.
