None involved will be spared: SMP commissioner

Newly-appointed Sylhet Metropolitan Police (SMP) Commissioner Nisharul Arif has said those involved in the killing of Raihan Ahmed will be brought to justice.

"The incident is unwanted and some police officials were involved in it. I'm ashamed. Those who committed the crime will be brought to book no matter which profession they belong to," he said while visiting Raihan's house on Tuesday night. Law enforcement agencies are trying to arrest the criminals, and legal action will be taken against those who helped Akbar flee, he said.

Replying to a question about the role of police administration, he said, "I've joined today and I'll verify it. Besides, there are some instructions from higher concerned and I believe in the plan, placement, and control policy. I believe it'll be possible to bring everything under control."

Referring to suspended SI Akbar, Nisharul said, "All units of law enforcement agencies are working to arrest him."
