Authorities concerned do take steps against the law-enforcers, who resort to excessive use of force while resisting organised gangs, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asserted in parliament on Wednesday.
She was responding to a question of BNP lawmaker A M Mahbub Uddin Khokon of Noakhali-1 constituency during the question-answer session in the House.
Khokon questioned if the government would take any effective step to stop forced disappearance and extrajudicial killing that increased had alarmingly in the country.
"If any person goes missing, a general diary or case is filed in the respective police station, and then search and inquiry are conducted," Hasina said.
She said the law enforcing agencies were always active against criminal activities in the country. "To arrest or resist organised gangs, the law enforcing agencies often have to use force and sometimes even open fire in self-defence," she said.
"In such incidents, the authorities concerned probe each incident and take lawful steps against any excessive use of force," she added.
