“The culprit must be punished”
This is in regard to the above news item which was published in The Daily Star of March 2, 2008. This is the story of a young, innocent and unfortunate housewife named Nila from Baro Bashoria village of Sirajganj who became the latest victim of acid thrown on her by her husband. Nila as we gathered from the news had been pursuing performing art from her school days and was keen to realise her dreams even after her marriage. However, she never had the slightest idea that the guy she married was mentally deranged and was planning to put a full- stop to her dreams by defacing her for good.
We strongly advocate that the culprit be punished and the punishment should also be given to the shopkeeper who sold acid to him. It is important that the government enacts laws to check unauthorised sale of acid in future.
