Street Romeos
When the entire country is reeling under the incidences of eve teasing of school girls a by the street Romeos which led to abductions and suicides of the helpless victims, the law enforcing authorities in Dhaka after rounding off of seven such eve teasers let them go scot-free upon simple undertakings from the parents ! This is ridiculous. We cannot understand why they suddenly became so benevolent in letting the culprits go. Those parents are also equally liable for the misdeeds of their offspring's and therefore, should also be prosecuted and given exemplary punishments along with those delinquents. If this crime is not nipped in the bud by handing over severe punishments the situation will go completely out of control. Even in the city university campuses female students are harassed openly by the Romeos showing muscle power under political colour.
Therefore, appropriate law should be enacted with the provision for severe punishment so that those eve teasers cannot dare resorting to such crimes any more. Only enacting of law is not enough, proper and quick application of such law is also essential.
