Those responsible for ASP Anisul’s death will be punished: Home minister

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan today said those responsible for the death of Barishal Metropolitan Police's Senior ASP Anisul Karim will be brought to justice.

"Everything related to the incident will be investigated and justice will be ensured after bringing all the accused under the ambit of law," he said while talking to reporters at his office.

"Anisul had been suffering from mental illness and we came to know about it. We have to investigate the incident and everything will be clear after the investigation," said the minister.

"We've seen in a video footage that there had been a scuffle between the hospital staff and the ASP and at one stage he died. Doctors at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases declared him dead when he was taken there," he said.

So far, 11 people, including three top-level officials of the hospital, were arrested in this connection, the minister added.
