Crimes of Cops

Abu Sayeed, a nine-year old schoolboy was kidnapped and brutally murdered by a constable of police whose duty is to protect people. We do not know how his family will bear this agony; we have no words to console them.

Nowadays, cases of law-enforcing agents becoming involved in criminal activities have been on the rise. The abduction and killing of seven persons in Naraynganj whose bodies were put in sacks and were dumped in the river, which horrified the nation, was done by the RAB, our elite force!

We do not know why they are not given exemplary punishment; other delinquent members of the law enforcing agencies are becoming more daring because of the government's lenient attitude towards their crimes. Members of law- enforcing agency who are guilty must face justice without delay.
