Reign of terror
We came to know Bangla Bhai, the ringleader of a vigilante group a few days back, though he has unleashed a reign of terror in Rajshahi for the last six years.
Reports say that his mission is to eradicate the outlaws from Rajshahi region. But we do not know who gave him such authority. We came to know that he along with his squad lynches the outlaws, which is inhuman, barbaric and a culpable crime.
The police keep silent and that disturbs all of us. What is the necessity of police, if Bangla Bhai works as a surrogate mechanism ? A macabre picture published on the front page of DS on May 21 traumatised me. His mission to Talibanise our country must be torpedoed double quick.
