Days after the brutal killing of factory worker Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh's Mymensingh district, Education Adviser C R Abrar visited his family on behalf of the Interim Government to express condolences and assure them of support. The Office of the Chief Adviser expressed profound sorrow over the killing and extended its deepest condolences to the bereaved family.
On Tuesday, Education Adviser Professor C R Abrar visited the family in Mymensingh and spoke with Rabilal Das, the father of Dipu Chandra Das, among others.
'Heinous Criminal Act'
