‘No one involved in Rifat murder will be spared’

Staff Correspondent: Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said those who are involved in the sensational murder of Barguna’s Rifat Sharif will not be spared even if the involved belong to the ruling party.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, made the comment while addressing a press conference at his secretariat office on Monday.

Asked whether the government is giving shelter to the killers involved in the Rifat murder, Quader said, “The Prime Mister has ordered the arrest of Rifat killers which means she is in zero tolerance as the head of the government in this case. Nine people have already been arrested in this connection. Law enforcers are conducting drives to arrest those who are on the run.”

Mentionable, about 4/5 criminals including Nayan and Rifat Farajee attacked Rifat Sharif (25) with sharp weapon in broad daylight in front of Barguna Government College Wednesday (June 26) morning while her wife was desperately trying to save him.

The entire incident was captured possibly on a mobile phone and footage of the incident went viral on social media.

Immediately after the attack, locals took Rifat to Barishal Sher-E-Bangla Medical College Hospital (BSMCH).  Later, he was pronounced dead.

Rifat was the only son of Abdul Halim Dulal Sharif at Boro Lobongola village in Burirchar union under Barguna sadar upazila.
