Interim govt orders probe into Jubo Dal man’s death in Cumilla

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, leading the interim government, today ordered an urgent investigation into the death of Jubo Dal leader Tohidul Islam.

He strongly condemned any form of custodial torture and extrajudicial killings, stating that upholding human rights in all aspects of national life remains a core mission of the administration, which includes some of the country's top rights activists.

The government has established several commissions to reform the criminal justice system, most of which have already submitted their reports.

In an effort to eliminate human rights violations in police interrogations, crime management, and judicial procedures, the interim government will engage in meaningful dialogue with political parties over these findings, the statement said.

The administration has reaffirmed its commitment to implementing these reforms, it said.

Tohidul Islam, 42, was allegedly taken from his home by the joint forces early yesterday.

"The joint forces informed us around 11:00am that an injured man was found in Jhakunipara on the banks of the Gumti River. Police rescued him and took him to Cumilla Medical College Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead," Mohinul Islam, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station, said earlier.
