JS body on home ministry to monitor sectional cases
The parliamentary standing committee on the home ministry will monitor the sensational and other major crime cases from now and give directions to the investigation officers concerned if necessary.
The House watchdog also recommended that it should not be considered abduction if a minor girl "wilfully" walks out with her near or dear ones.
In such cases, the parliamentary body also recommended to lessen punishment, which is generally given for abduction cases.
Explaining the reason of monitoring sensational cases, Maj Gen (retd) MA Salam, chief of parliamentary standing committee, said people always want to know the developments in different sensational cases from lawmakers.
Salam said, “People also share different important matter about the cases with us. Therefore, we can give direction or advice to the law enforcement agencies in this regard.”
“The committee yesterday discussed developments of 13 sensational cases including Samiul murder case in city's Adabor and killing of ATN Bangla journalist,” Salam, also ruling AL lawmaker, told reporters after the meeting at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.
The committee chief said incidents of murder and rape have increased in the recent months.
