Unethical business

In this age of 'civilisation' love has also become an innovative tool of business in the most obnoxious and distasteful way. Some unfortunate girls were actually trapped in the name of love and then coerced or persuaded to get extremely physical with their boyfriends. They were not aware of the fact that a video camera or web cam was secretly kept somewhere and the sole objective was to make some 'Bangladeshi porn film' and get money. This are kinds of matters we don't like to discuss in our conservative society and try to sweep everything under the carpet. The silence is turning out to be fatal for the society in the long run. 'Sex' (irrespective of its meaning) is a taboo term in our society.

When the first of this kind of CD 'hit the market' (involving a receptionist of a mobile phone service provider) everyone was crucifying the girl alone and was silent about her male counterpart's role, who masterminded it. An extensive media report however at least convinced the common people the main culprit was the guy. (no action has yet been taken against him and his collaborators) At that time there were news items like 'Meyera Sabdhan' (Be aware girls).

I do know that these are hush-hush issues in Bangladesh and no one should be highlighting these. I am compelled to write about it because unfortunately there has been another CD. This time the victims are female students of DU and AIUB.

Putting aside the moral and religious issue, does the animals in human masks not know what are they doing to some girls? It is more than a capital punishment in a country like ours. What about the humiliation of the family of those unfortunate girls? In this social structure the guys can get away with anything and everything.

We don't want to see any recurrence of such incidents. Exemplary punishment should be meted out to the perpetrators of such heinous crimes. Is anybody listening?
