Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud on Saturday (30 March) said that the government hopes the United States authorities will take appropriate action if investigation finds New York Police Department officers guilty of “wrongfully” killing a Bangladesh youth.
“Consul General of Bangladesh in New York went to the home of Win Rozario, a Bangladeshi youth who was shot by the police in the United States, and met the family. Speaking to the family, it appears that there was no need for the police to open fire. It is very sad. We regret the incident and an investigation is underway,” he told reporters.
NYPD officers fatally shot a youth in mental distress, wielding scissors, in his Queens home last Wednesday after he called 911. His family is now calling for justice over what they believe was a “wrongful killing”.
