DU incident

The government promptly set up a one-man judicial inquiry commission to look into the DU incident. Since the commission has started its function, we have seen sporadic comments from the witnesses in print and electronic media reports.
The matter is under inquiry. We do not want to make any comment on the substance or any other aspect of the inquiry. But on the procedural issue, one might raise a question: is it an open inquiry or a closed door inquiry? The type of information made public through media reflects the views of the witnesses or even his /her testimony to the inquiry commission. The question arising in our mind is whether these would affect the fair judgment of the commission; secondly, and more importantly, the defendants are not getting an equal opportunity to defend themselves to the public while accusations are made public through media reports.
We only hope that the commission would kindly consider the Dhaka University incident in its right perspective.
