Home Adviser Lieutenant General (retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury on Sunday said the charge sheet in journalist Asaduzzaman Tuhin's murder case will be submitted as early as possible.
"The incident that happened in Gazipur is very regretful. We can't even imagine such an incident. Most of the perpetrators behind the attack have already been brought to book. The charge sheet in the murder case will be submitted as soon as possible," he said while replying to a question from the journalists after the core committee meeting on law and order at the Home Ministry in Bangladesh Secretariat.
"The government will take every possible measure to ensure punishment of the perpetrators. But, we can't compensate for the life that has gone," he said.
Referring to the murder, Jahangir said, "We have become impatient as a nation. We have no tolerance at all."
The Home Adviser expressed his disappointment that no one stepped in to save the journalist, noting that in the past, people often risked their lives to prevent such incidents.
"Now people are busy recording the incident on their mobile phones rather than resisting," he said, emphasising the urgent need to raise public awareness through targeted campaigns to encourage civic responsibility.
"The media can play a vital role in this," he opined.
