Iftekharuzzaman called on the government to take effective and visible steps to address the insecurity and mistrust risk posed by such attacks on top officials of the local administration.
“The way such a shocking incident is being treated as a mere theft and an isolated incident based on the initial confession of a suspect is very disappointing and suspicious,” he also said.

He added that such an attack might have taken place due to the inflexible stance of the UNO in Ghoraghat Upazila against corruption and immorality in many issues related to khas land, illegal sand extraction and brick kilns.
“The heinous attack has created a pragmatic risk of the crisis of public confidence to political parties and the administration,” Dr Zaman also added.
