Dhaka: Attorney General Mahbubey Alam on Sunday said he expects the court to hand the accused in sensational seven-murder case exemplary punishment.

"The people, who were involved in that pre-planned act, were designated to safeguard the lives, freedom and properties of the citizens. So their crimes are unforgivable," he said.

The chief law officer of the state came up with the observations while talking to newsmen about the verdict, which is scheduled to be delivered on Sunday by a Narayanganj court.

"People of the country want the court to hand them exemplary punishments for their monstrous act which shook the nation," Alam added.

Narayanganj City Corporation councilor Nazrul Islam along with his three aides and driver were kidnapped allegedly by a team of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB)-11 on April 27 in 2014.

Besides, senior lawyer Chandan Sarker and his driver Ibrahim were also picked up by the same team as they witnessed the abduction of Nazrul and his associates.

Subsequently all the seven bodies were found floating in the Shitalakkhya river.
