Murderers escape
In my very first year in the BUET I eye witnessed a gunfight on my campus between criminals who were so-called students of my university and the neighbouring Dhaka University. The gunfight was for grasping a tender. The two leaders of that gunfight were from BUET and DU. That gunfight on the campus cost us the life of Sabekunnahar Sony. After that murder, the terrorist from DU was arrested in Dhaka but the BUET man has not been arrested yet. There is a whispering we often hear that immediately after the death of our Sony Apu, he managed to get the shelter of one of the most influential leaders of the BNP and after that the ruling party has sent that murderer abroad. After more than three years of that murder, we are observing that the verdict on that case has not been executed.
In Bangladesh, as it is possible that a convict is granted presidential amnesty with the help of the big-wigs of the ruling party after twenty two years, it is also possible that the main accused in Sony murder case will never be punished.
