Chakoria incident

It is a matter of disgrace to the police (a man was reportedly beaten to death by a police officer at Chakoria). The distance between the police and citizens is increasing day by day. The sense of responsibility and humanity has completely vanished from the minds of police. Most of the time they work for the rich (who give them bribes) rather than poor, weak people. The rate of corruption in the police department is so high that now we can't think of any honest policeman. But the situation was quite different in the past (May be during the British period). Police used to command a lot of respect at that time. Even at the time of our liberation war, many policemen fought like tigers. But the situation has completely changed.
