Our ineligible law enforcers
Moin ul Alam, Minto Road, Dhaka.
After four years of murder the judgement in the sensational Sergeant Ahad murder case was delivered on the 19th of November. In the verdict two including the main accused were awarded death penalty, and one was sentenced to life time imprisonment. But ten of the accused were acquitted off the charge! And this is where the musk of our law enforcers was removed.The court knew that the acquitted were actually guilty but it had nothing to do. The court mentioned that the investigative officers did not carry out the TIP or the test of identification parade. The Judge also criticised few of Ahad's colleagues for neglecting their duty and termed them 'ineligible' for law enforcement. The court also advised concerned authorities to take necessary action against them. The directive from the court is not surprising as from the time of murder Ahad's wife lodged the same complaint. But neither the AL nor the present government listened to her cry. Although the primary accused divulged the name of the same officers but no step was taken. But Ahad's wife was threatened not to speak any more. The present government is doing many things for the improvement of law and order. But will there be any action against these corrupted officers? I think the government should take step immediately as it is a directive from the court. And it is also an opportunity to rub off corruption from the police force. Those officers should be punished so that no more Ahad tragedy take place in the future. The whole nation is ashamed of it. And it is time to prove by the government that they are really interested to punish corrupt police officers.
