Dipu Das Murder: Adviser Visits family, 12 in Custody

The Interim Government has expressed deep grief over the killing of factory worker Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh and has pledged to ensure justice through a thorough legal process.

Education Adviser Professor C R Abrar, representing the Office of the Chief Adviser, visited the victim’s family in Mymensingh to convey the government’s condolences and solidarity. During the visit, he met Dipu’s father, Rabilal Das, and other family members, according to a statement issued by the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing.

Professor Abrar described the killing as a brutal criminal act that cannot be justified under any circumstances. He said rumours, allegations, or differences in belief can never excuse violence, stressing that no one has the right to take the law into their own hands.

He reaffirmed the Interim Government’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and assured the family that all allegations related to the incident would be properly investigated and prosecuted in accordance with due process.

Law enforcement agencies have so far arrested 12 people in connection with the murder. Investigations are continuing, and the government has instructed authorities to pursue the case comprehensively and without exception. Those responsible will face the full application of the law, the adviser said.

Professor Abrar also reiterated that the government remains committed to protecting the safety, dignity, and equal rights of all citizens, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or background. He urged communities, institutions, and leaders to reject violence, resist efforts to create unrest, and uphold restraint, humanity, and respect for the law.

On behalf of the Office of the Chief Adviser, he confirmed that financial and welfare support would be provided to Dipu Chandra Das’s family and that relevant authorities would stay in close contact with them in the days ahead.

The Interim Government, he said, remains resolute in its duty to protect all citizens and ensure that justice is delivered.
