Staff Correspondent
The government will investigate all cases of extra-judicial killings and try them, Law Minister Shafique Ahmed said yesterday.
The present government is against any kind of extra-judicial killing and committed to protect the fundamental human rights of people, he said,^ adding that the government in its nine months in power has taken many steps to implement these commitments.

government has taken initiatives to appoint an ombudsman as per provision of the constitution in order to ensure the constitutional rights of the people.
A committee headed by the speaker of parliament will elect the ombudsman within a very short time, he said.
He said the ombudsman can probe allegations against any governmental, semi-governmental or statutory office or organisation, and can recommend proper steps for
the government to take.
