In every country, police or other security forces are considered as the guardians of laws and regulations within a country. Unfortunately, in Bangladesh sometimes it is seen that police takes the 'responsibility' of punishing the accused even to death! Of late, in Tangail, an owner of a pharmacy has been beaten to death by the cops. Survey says that during the first third of this year, a total of 38 persons have died in police custody. The latest addition to the human rights breach by the security force is Limon's tragedy. The home ministry must take the responsibility to teach the security forces that no one can be punished unless he is proved to be a criminal.
