Barbaric act at Bhashantek
The heinous physical assault carried out by a gang on four women at Bhashantek reveals the extreme degree of criminal perversity. Not only was the type of torture brutal, but also the culprits have remained at large even after three weeks of the gruesome incident. What more, the criminals are threatening the victims with consequences for having filed a case, which impels them to live in fear.
The police claimed to have unearthed some links and information about the criminals. In catching the gang of criminals the police's intelligence wing should have been more up and doing and target oriented. How expeditiously the perpetrators are tracked down and brought before the law will be the testimony to justice being delivered to the victims. Meanwhile, the police must guarantee security to those who have suffered grievously.
Brutalizing women with impunity is on the rise and that's why our law enforcement agencies should take adequate measures to protect the dignity of women. If the limited law enforcement resources are spread thin on the vital agenda of providing security to citizens then we are grossly wrong in basics. This must be righted as the law enforcement authorities reconsider their priorities in terms of serving the nation.
