The minister made the remarks while responding to questions about the Ramisa case during a press briefing at the conference room of the home ministry.

He said police have been taking the highest level of action against all heinous crimes since the BNP government assumed office, ensuring quick arrests and investigations.

“You cannot point to any heinous crime since we took office where the matter was neglected or arrests were not made promptly,” he added.
