Yet another death at stalker's hands

ANOTHER young man was killed by a stalker for protesting harassment of his sister. And the killer is the same as the one who is accused of assaulting 11 members of a family including a pregnant woman in Bhashantek area of the city in February of this year.

Clearly the law enforcing agencies are doing precious little by way of prosecution and conviction of the perpetrators of this kind of violence against women. How does one explain the fact that the killer of the young man, accused in the earlier case, had not only evaded arrest for the last ten months but he has been back in his locality since the last one month and continuing with his wicked activities, with impunity?

For the police to say that the accused could not be traced by them when in fact he has been roaming about freely in the open only proves that the police are being paid to turn a blind eye to these criminals.  

One of the reasons why this ill is still persisting is that law enforcing agency has failed to nail the perpetrators in most cases and of those prosecuted most have evaded punishment by  exploiting loopholes in the  legal process.

We would want that cases relating to stalking and harassment, many of which have forced the victims to commit suicide, be tried in the speedy trial court. The perpetrators need to be made examples of if we are to see an end to this horrific phenomenon.
