Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said perpetrators of the attack on Ghoraghat UNO Wahida Khanam must be punished as an investigation was underway to find out the real cause and identify the masterminds behind the heinous act.

"I can tell you all that the culprits responsible for the attack will definitely be punished and I am ensuring it. Some people have already been arrested in this regard and an investigation is underway to find out the real cause and masterminds behind it. There is no lapse in the probe and it will not happen," the PM told parliament.

She was replying to a supplementary question from BNP lawmaker Harunur Rashid from Chapainawabganj-3.

The opposition MP requested the premier to form a high-powered investigation team like it was done over the killing of Feni madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi to probe the attack on the UNO as he expressed doubts whether the local investigators in Dinajpur would be able to conduct the probe properly.
