Bangladesh Govt ordered to explain killings


The High Court has given the government and Rapid Action Battalion 48 hours to explain the shooting and killing of two brothers in Madaripur, asking why the deaths should not be ruled extra-judicial.

Brothers Lutfor Khalashi, 40, and Khairul Khalashi, 38, both alleged to be extremists, were killed in what RAB said was "an exchange of gunfire" in Madaripur early on Monday.

The deaths were reported just 36 hours after family members voiced fears that the two might be killed in custody.

The bench of justices AFM Abdur Rahman and Imdadul Haque Azad issued a suo moto rule on the home secretary, director general of RAB and two others on Tuesday following media accounts of the deaths.
