Criminals hold sway
The other day at 11.30 pm I took a CNG from Banani to go to my residence at old town. Before I could cross the Banani flyover, the driver stopped the CNG. Within seconds two men forcefully entered my vehicle and pointed guns at me. I was forced to give them all the cash I had with me. They beat me as I refused to give them my debit card pin code. But finally I gave in to their demand. One of them suggested, “Put some molom (ointment) in his eyes and ditch him on the Gazipur highway to be run over by rushing vehicles.” I implored, “I have small kids and I am the only bread earner of my family. Please do not kill me.” They finally left me at Ashulia.
I must say it is good that our leaders do not follow Hazrat Omar's (RadiAllahu Anha) example to check upon the condition of their countrymen. If they did, they would face public wrath every day for not curbing the insecurity, lawlessness, and criminal activities prevailing in the society.
