Kudos to OC Keraniganj PS
Brig Gen (Retd) Ashraf, Dhaka
Once again the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Keraniganj PS and his under-command have done an admirable job by arresting a notorious local criminal called Badsha, who was given a life sentence for committing a murder. Few weeks ago the members of the same PS arrested another local godfather in an operation in which the OC himself suffered a bullet injury on his hand. This time he also suffered an injury on his leg while exchanging fires with the followers of Badsha who tried to snatch him away from the police. OC Keraniganj PS, Mr. Mustafizur Rahman Khan, and his team deserve to be congratulated for these acts of courage and devotion to duty. Dear Mr. Khan, we feel proud to have officers like you in our police force. We hope other officers in the police will feel inspired by the examples you have set.
The police behind the mirror A large number of incidents really forced people to believe there are some police officers who are up to something else rather than being the guardians of the good citizens and the lifesavers of the people. But the reality is even more horrifying! They are collecting money from the street vendors regularly and if you do not believe me, come and see what's happening at Mohammad-pur. They were asking for 10 taka from an old vendor who probably had an amount of vegetables worth Tk 100. One of the vendors was beaten badly for not paying the amount asked for. If you have a place where there is no vandalism and no miscreants you are sure to find the police acting as the miscreants or I should rather say playing the role of the miscreants so properly and accurately that make the real ones feel shy. Can't we get rid of such police officials? They were about to pick a boy for not knowing his father's name. Is that a crime? I wish someone would come as some knight in the shining armour to help us out from such dreadful life. We want to see the police as friends not the friends of the miscreants. Badal Hasib, Mohammadpur
