“First of all, I will say that it is a heinous and abominable murder. An investigation is underway and I hope it will be carried out in a proper way,” the chief of army staff said while talking to reporters after attending a Regimental Colour Parade in Chittagong’s Bhatiary on Wednesday. “Exemplary punishment should be meted out to the real criminals to prevent such incidents happening to any serving or retired army personnel in the future,” he added. General Aziz went on to say that it is unexpected and regrettable if anyone tries to create instability over the incident. Replying to a question about the army’s satisfaction and expectation over the investigation, the army chief said that there is no scope for satisfaction until the criminals are handed down exemplary punishment.
