A serious security lapse
Killing of Tarek in a shootout between Rab and some of the victim's alleged cohorts while he was being transferred from a hospital to Gulshan thana only exposes a serious security breach on the elite anti-crime force's part. This is totally unacceptable. The incident raises some obvious questions.
Why was Tarek, the prime suspect in the killing of Jubo League leader Milky, was being taken in haste to the police station at night? Why couldn't Rab wait until the next day? Why didn't Rab take extra-precautionary measures to protect Tarek, a vital source of motive and evidence behind Milky's killing?
Obviously, these killings within such a short span of time may have given rise to grave doubts in the public's mind about Rab's version of the circumstances of the shootout. Such suspicions and doubts have to be cleared without delay.
People are also dismayed that with their questionable backgrounds as reported in the media, those two dead persons held important portfolios in the ruling AL's youth front.
Seeing the gangland-style bloody feud that broke out over their rivalry for positions in the upcoming DCC polls, one gets the jitters. How many more such types of people are there in the Jubo League?
All these questions are crowding the people's mind at once. The government can't avoid answering those.
The law-enforcers must brook no further laxity in the investigation into the Milky murder. The sooner they are able to come up with the truth the better for their already compromised image.
