Responsible must be punished over Chinese citizen murder Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen

DHAKA:  Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen asked for tough punishment for those who are responsible in connection with the murder of Chinese citizen at Payra Port. 

“Chinese citizen murder incident at Payra Port is very saddening. This incident happened just before Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s China tour. All the accused involved in the incident has to be punished, so that it doesn’t repeat,” Dr AK Abdul Momen said during a press briefing at his ministry on Sunday (June 23).

“A Bangladeshi worker died falling from a height at Payra Port, but our people thought that Chinese citizens had killed this worker. This incident happened due to rumors. It is a tragic incident,” Dr. Momen said.

A Chinese citizen died while he was undergoing treatment at Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital (SBMCH) on Wednesday (June 19).

Leu Si, aged 45, was working at 1320 MW power plant at Nishanbariya in Kalapara upazila of Patuakhali district.
