Ctg SP warns of stern action
Stern action will be taken against those who film incidents of a mob beating someone based on suspicion of being child kidnappers, warned Noor-E-Alam Mina, superintendent of police in Chattogram, yesterday.
He issued the warning while addressing an event in the port city, to raise awareness against such incidents.
He said several cases were filed and over 100 people were arrested in this connection so far. “We’ve also called upon people not to take law in their own hand and inform police immediately upon suspicion.”
“Lynching on suspicion is a criminal offence… and those who video the incident will also face music,” he added.
The SP said police have taken various initiatives in this regard such as circulating leaflets and holding discussions with students, guardians, residents and local representatives.
