Death of UGC official in custody

Legal notice served on govt

A Supreme Court lawyer has served a legal notice on the government seeking judicial inquiry into the custodial death of a University Grants Commission (UGC) official. Advocate Eunus Ali Akond sent the notice yesterday that also requested the government to take necessary steps against the responsible persons who were involved in the incident. "If the government fails to form a judicial inquiry body within 24 hours, a writ petition will be filed with the HC seeking necessary order over the matter," Akond said. Omar Siraj, an assistant director of the UGC, died on October 1 while in custody of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), after he was arrested over ‘leak’ of medical admission test questions and placed on 2-day remand. Earlier, BNP demanded a judicial probe into the incident to find out the real cause of UGC official’s death in RAB custody.
