Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed on Monday said two suspects in the Hadi murder case, who were arrested in India, will be brought back to Bangladesh under the existing extradition treaty between the two countries.
“The Home Ministry has already taken steps regarding the arrest of the two accused, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been requested to take necessary measures to bring them back in line with the extradition agreement,” the minister said.
He made the remarks while speaking to reporters after attending a district law and order committee meeting in Cox's Bazar – his first such meeting in his home district since assuming office.
Salahuddin Ahmed also said a list of drug traders is being prepared in a “highly professional manner”.
“The list will not be made public, as doing so could create political influence and lead to possible errors,” he said.
The minister warned that incidents of mob violence would not be tolerated and said all terrorists and extortionists would be brought under the law to ensure good governance.
He also announced steps to restore discipline in the tourism sector of Cox’s Bazar.
According to him, illegal permanent and temporary structures built on the sand dunes along the sea beach will be removed within a week, while measures will be taken to keep tourist areas clean.
Salahuddin Ahmed further said CCTV cameras would be installed at key points across the town to improve the law and order situation.
Among those present at the meeting were lawmakers Shahjahan Chowdhury and Lutfur Rahman Kajol, Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Abdul Mannan, Superintendent of Police ANM Sajedur Rahman, and district BNP general secretary Shamima Ara Swapna.
