Cyber crimes
My salute to the lady in Chittagong, who had been bold enough to go to the police and complain against Aleem, a cyber criminal, for posting indecent photographs on a fake Facebook account. The Kotwali police had arrested Aleem. And thanks to The Daily Star for giving a good treatment to the news. This is just the beginning. These stories should be published in the front page of the national dailies and covered in the electronic media as well. Both the print and electronic media should immediately launch nationwide awareness campaigns against any kind of harassment, be it physical or mental. Every individual should be aware of his/her rights; how they can get support and be protected under the law if/when anyone is harassed.
On the other hand, the criminals, who are directly involved in these utterly heinous crimes should also know that they cannot get away so easily. Moreover, it is great to know that police is also looking for those who had posted vulgar comments on that fake account. This is indeed a commendable step of our skilled police department.
