Abdus Salam, the brother of murdered Narayanganj City Corporation panel mayor Nazrul Islam, demanded death penalty for those responsible for the sensational killings that drew countrywide criticism.
“The miscreants who are directly or indirectly at fault for the gruesome seven-murder case should be hanged. The financers of the killing also should be brought to book,” Salam said.
He made the remarks while addressing a human chain formed in Adamji area under Siddirganj police station here in the morning.
Speaking about the leaked conversation between Awami League lawmaker Shamim Osman and Nur Hossain, the prime accused in the case filed for the sensational seven-murder case in the district, Salam questioned the Prime Minister, saying: “If Nur Hossain is not considered a criminal after killing seven people then how many murders is he required to commit in order for him to be considered so.”
In the programme arranged by the Narayanganj Mahila Parishad, leaders of the organisation opined that the industrial city has turned into a city of rampant abductions and killing.
“Since justice was ensured in the previous killings there, the seven-murder could have been evaded,” the leaders continued.
Narayanganj City Corporation panel mayor Nazrul and lawyer Chandan Sarkar along with five others were killed following their abduction on April 27.
