BANDARBAN, Apr 4: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Saturday said strict action will be taken against anyone who breaks the law and disrupts the peace of people.

"Our security forces won sit back. We are taking a strict stand against the incident. None is allowed to break the law and order," he said while replying to the queries of the newsmen after visiting Ansar Barracks, Sonali Bank, Ruma Upazila Mosque here on Saturday.

"We will not let anything go unchallenged. We will find out who did this and who are linked with them," Kamal said, adding that the culprits would be brought to light very soon.

The purpose of the robbery, who carried out the crime, who assisted them - everything will be investigated, the home minister said while talking to reporters after visiting the bank Saturday morning.

"We never imagined there would be such a volatile atmosphere in Ruma. We have always seen that the residents of this area value peace.      

Todays question is, why did this happen all of a sudden?" he said. "The main purpose of the robbery was probably to raise money, which is what we think so far," the minister said.

"We e going to address this with firmness. Law and order breakdowns will not be tolerated any longer. We do not want disturbances in this peaceful area. Well pursue legal action after determining who committed the crime and who assisted," he declared.

"It is not desirable that the criminals in uniform enter with firearms and our security forces sit idle. We will take a tough stance on this. We will not allow anyone to violate laws in any way," he said.

The minister had earlier spoken with the Imam of the mosque Nur Hossain, who was being held captive by the robbers, during the incident on April 2.

Armed criminals stormed Bandarbans Ruma upazila parishad complex on April 2 night, disarmed security personnel and took their firearms, robbed the Sonali Bank branch and abducted the bank manager.  Abducted Sonali Bank Manager Nezam Uddin was later freed in Ruma town on April 4 after what RAB said were two days of negotiations.
