Probe body formed over death of Naogaon land officer

RAB has formed a probe body over the death of an employee of a Naogaon union land office who was accused in a case under the Digital Security Act.

Commander Khandaker Al Moin, director of the legal and media wing of RAB, disclosed this at a press conference at its Karwan Bazar Media Centre on Tuesday.

RAB has formed a probe body over the death of Sultana Jasmine.  Actions will be taken, if any RAB member is found guilty. In primary investigation, it is found that she used to cheat people in the name of giving jobs, he said. 

Sultana Jasmine died in the custody of Rab-5 after suffering haemorrhages of the brain. Her family alleged that she died due to torture in Rab custody.

Rab picked up Sultana around 10:00am on Wednesday (March 22) when she was on her way to Chandipur Union Land Office. She died at 10:00am on Friday (March 24) at the Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH).

A day after her detention, she was sued under DSA in Rajshahi ‘for syphoning off money from job seekers using a Facebook account’.
