Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud yesterday described those responsible for the killing of madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi as miscreants and denounced the attempt to politicise the issue.  “As per the directives of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the authorities concerned are doing everything to bring the culprits to book,” he said at a press briefing at his secretariat office here.

Terming Nusrat killing as one of the heinous incidents, Dr Hasan said it has hurt the country as well as the society. “The government is working on this issue so that such incidents do not recur in the country,” he added.

Dr Hasan, also the publicity and publication secretary of the ruling AL, said all culprits, even if any public servant is found guilty, would be brought to book and none will be spared. He said some BNP leaders visited the residence of Nusrat after the incident.
