Rangpur Metropolitan Police’s new commissioner Mahbubur Rashid said police are working to complete investigations into prominent and sensational cases quickly and submit chargesheets to ensure justice. He made the remarks on Friday afternoon after visiting the home of retired Rangpur Zilla School teacher Ganapati Chakraborty in Daspara, eight days after the killings. Rashid joined as commissioner of Rangpur Metropolitan Police on Thursday.

The commissioner said narcotics are not only a problem for Rangpur but a social scourge across the country. He said visible operations and activities against drugs would be seen within the next week. Police would work with public cooperation to develop Rangpur into a city of peace, security and good governance, he added.

On the night of August 20, police recovered the bodies of Ganapati Chakraborty, his wife Pritilata Chakraborty, daughter Agami Chakraborty and son Ayus Chakraborty from their home in Machhuapara. Police said all four were strangled. Ganapati’s elder brother Gopinath Chakraborty filed a murder case, and police later arrested Mugdha Das and Siddhartha Das.
