The Home Minister of Bangladesh, Asaduzzaman Khan, has announced that the Supreme Court will be urged to expedite the hearing of the death reference for the brutal murder of an eight-year-old child in Pallabi. This case, which saw the conviction and death sentence for the perpetrators by a Dhaka court, is a high-profile one. The Minister stated that the Attorney General's office will also be involved in this process to ensure the swift execution of justice, should the death penalty be upheld after the hearing. He also mentioned that police officers involved in the swift arrest, investigation, and charge-sheeting of the accused in this sensational case will be rewarded for their performance.
