Inefficiency, arrogance and a tragedy

How on earth the police could confine Nasir Fakir for twelve hours? Interestingly, the police authorities have not on their own questioned the Police Station in-charge concerned! Now under pressure, they are arranging an in-house inquiry (?) or an in-house cover-up! This is an example of how the taxpayers' money is being wasted by the police and other authorities like the Fire Brigade.

Do the police believe that the bereaved Fakir was lying to the press reporter? The uncalled-for harassment of Nasir Fakir by the 'thana' officials is something that the government should not take lightly. The Fire Brigade's bungled rescue attempts only showed how incompetent they were, as later a few volunteers succeeded in recovering the body in their first attempt! This matter must be thoroughly investigated by an independent high powered body and punishment must be given to the incompetent officials.
