Ghoulish crimes
Home Minister Sahara Khatun has claimed that criminal activities have come down considerably. But alas, we see no sign of it. From reports of the media we learned about quite a number of daring crimes.
On June 23, 2009, dacoits tried to rob Amin Jewellers at Gulshan area in broad daylight.
Armed miscreants entered the shop situated at DCC market at Gulshan-2.
On 24 June, a gang of seven, in the guise of customers entered Abdullah Money Exchange on DIT road and looted Tk 14 lakh, the time was 2:15pm. On the same day, criminals shot dead a video cassette trader at his shop and a manpower agent was stabbed to death at his house. Petty crimes are also taking place round the clock, people are feeling very unsafe.
Is not the Home Ministry aware of the situation? To combat the crimes, the government must take adequate steps, the number of law-enforcing agents should be increased manifold.
Intelligence agencies must do their job sincerely.
