Staff Correspondent
Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has condemned the murder of young lawyer Saiful Islam Alif, an APP of Chattogram Judge Court.
He also ordered an investigation into the killing and appropriate legal action, reports a press release issued for the media on Tuesday evening.
The chief adviser urged the people to keep calm and stay away from participating in any untoward activities elsewhere in the country.
The law enforcement agencies have also been ordered to step up security in the port city, including its all vulnerable areas to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
The Interim Government is committed to ensuring and upholding communal harmony in Bangladesh at any cost.
Advocate Saiful Islam Alif was killed Tuesday when followers of controversial Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari clashed with law enforcers at the court demanding his release.
Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) Director Brigadier General Mohammed Taslim Uddin said Alif was hacked to death.
