The interim government has appealed to all citizens of the country not to take the law into their own hands again. At the same time, a strong message has been given to those who create 'mobs' in a statement issued by the government.
The request was made in a statement posted on the government's press wing's Facebook page on Sunday (June 22) night.
The interim government's statement said that on Sunday (June 22), former Chief Election Commissioner Nurul Huda was arrested by the capital's Uttara Police Station in a specific case. The chaotic situation created by the 'mob' and the physical assault of the accused came to the government's attention.
The statement urged citizens, saying, "The government requests all citizens of the country not to take the law into their own hands again." At the same time, it assured, "All accused persons will be tried in accordance with the law of the country and the court will decide on the matter and the person under trial."
Later, the statement warned those who created the 'mob', saying, "Attacking and physically assaulting the accused is illegal, contrary to the rule of law and a criminal offense. The law enforcement agencies will identify all those who created a 'mob' and create a chaotic situation and take appropriate action."
The statement also urged all citizens to play a tolerant role in the struggle for justice.
