Unchecked extortion

I was deeply upset by the news report 'Nasirnagar Hate Attacks: Blanket arrests net innocents, not kingpins' published on November 12. Perpetrators behind the incident are still not being apprehended for reasons unknown to us. 

My relative recently faced something similar. About six months ago, my cousin was recruited in Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank as a cashier. Members of a law enforcement agency came to his house and took Tk 5,000 for a provisional police report, although there haven't been any cases against him till date. He was later visited by the same police officers demanding Tk 10,000, this time for a permanent police report. He resisted, but eventually had to give in to the intimidation of the policemen. 

When will these practices stop?
