I extend my deepest condolences to their bereaved families. All kinds of treatment will be ensured for those undergoing treatment at different places in the injured condition.

"Maximum efforts will be taken to logically solve various problems and demands raised by the members of Bangladesh Police. I especially request all members of Bangladesh Police to perform their duties with strong morale and patience maintaining their own security. Hopefully, with the cooperation of all, the situation will become normal soon.”
