Yesterday another person was killed in the so-called Rab crossfire. There are different explanations of the killing of Abul Kalam Azad Sumon. Some say that Rab was looking for another miscreant with the same name but mistakenly killed Sumon. Another explanation suggests that local ruling party leader killed Sumon through Rab. The point is that Rab is not doing what it is supposed to do. It seems that anybody can be killed at any time in the hands of Rab.

I know government will not do anything. Already government leaders suggest that this is Bangladeshi type solution of the crime problem. Well I believe that people are more important than the country.
