Police negligence in arresting Rajon killers

If the barbaric torture and murder of 13-year-old child in Sylhet by a gang of four wasn't appalling enough, we now have evidence of police negligence in arresting the killers and of allowing a perpetrator to flee the country because of "political influence".  Not only did the police fail to stop the criminals from carrying out their inhumane torture in broad daylight, but they allegedly also had a financial deal with the killers and let one of them flee the country. In addition, when Rajon's father went to file a case with the police, they misbehaved with him. 

A three-member probe committee formed to investigate these allegations has found that the police, indeed, was guilty of negligence and misbehaviour. That law enforcers, who should protect us from criminals, should be found abetting them is unacceptable and highlights just how vulnerable citizens of this country are. What's even more outrageous is that the police's failure to arrest was a result of "political interference". However, the committee has not yet revealed the name of the person or persons who were exerting their power to save these perverted murderers; we urge the committee to make the name(s) public without delay. We strongly believe that anyone who allows, and indeed, assists, these criminals to go free is also complicit in the murder, and as such, should be brought to book.

While we welcome the move to close OC (Investigation) and the two sub-inspectors, we do not believe that these are strong enough measures for abetment of murder. Nothing less than criminal action can be appropriate against these errant law enforcers.
