Investigators have held the local police responsible for the death of Shamsuddin Milon killed as a mob beat him at Companyganj in Noakhali on July 27.
The three-member committee set up on Saturday to investigate the killing submitted its report on Tuesday in which it accused the local police of failing to protect Milon, the superintendent of police in Noakhali police superintendent Harun-ur-Rashid Hazari told New Age on Tuesday.
'If the police had wished, they could have saved Milon from being killed by the mob. The committee has held the police responsible for the killing. Necessary action would be taken against the police personnel responsible,' Harun said.
Quoting the report, he said that the police had instigated the mob to kill the boy instead of saving his life.
The police, meanwhile on Monday night, registered a murder case accusing two people, including a union council member, in connection the killing.
Eleven days after the killing of 16-year-old boy, the local police recorded the case filed by victim's mother Kohinoor Begum after the police superintendent had asked the police to do so.

On August 3, the victim's mother filed the case with a Noakhali court in connection with the killing of her son.
Kohinoor in the case statement accused two local people, including the union council member, of killing her son in the presence of the police.
