Dhaka: Bangladesh is once again going through a period of serious violence and political tension. In the case of murder of student leader Sharif Usman Hadi, Dhaka Metropolitan Police has made a big claim saying that the two main accused involved in this murder have fled to India. According to the police, the accused have entered India through Meghalaya border. After this claim, new questions have arisen regarding Bangladesh’s internal security, border management and regional stability.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police claims
Dhaka Metropolitan Police says that Faisal Karim Masood and Alamgir Shaikh, who were involved in the murder of student leader Sharif Usman Hadi, have escaped from Bangladesh and reached India. According to the police, both the accused, with the help of local associates, crossed the Haluaghat border of northern Bangladesh and entered Meghalaya. Dhaka Police has shared information regarding this entire incident in a press conference.
What did the additional commissioner say?
According to the report of Bangladesh newspaper The Daily Star, in the press conference held at DMP Media Centre, Additional Commissioner SN Nazrul Islam said that the initial investigation has made it clear that the accused had already planned to cross the border. He told that the accused were received by a person across the border and after that they left for a city in Meghalaya by taxi.
Keep an eye on those who help in India
Dhaka Police also claimed that two people who helped the accused in India have been detained. However, this information has come to light on the basis of unofficial reports. Bangladeshi officials say that they have not yet received any official confirmation about this action in India. At present, no statement has been issued by India on this entire matter.
How did the plan to cross the border come about?
Police investigation has revealed that Faisal Karim Masood and Alamgir Shaikh used the local network. Haluaghat border is considered a sensitive area, from where incidents of illegal border crossing have been reported in the past also. The accused took advantage of this route and entered India, avoiding the attention of security agencies.
Why did Hadi’s murder create a stir?
The murder of student leader Sharif Usman Hadi has raised big questions regarding student politics and law and order in Bangladesh. Hadi was known as an active and vocal student leader. After his murder, there was huge outrage on university campuses and in political circles. Many student organizations took to the streets and demanded justice.
Background of increasing violence in Bangladesh
Hadi’s assassination is not an isolated incident. Several incidents of violence have been reported in Bangladesh in recent months. Earlier this month, 29-year-old garment factory worker Dipu Chandra Das was brutally murdered in Mymensingh, about 100 kilometers from Dhaka. It is alleged that an Islamic mob beat him to death, tied him to a tree and set him on fire. This incident is being considered a horrific example of increasing violence against minorities.
Arrests in lynching cases
Bangladeshi police have arrested at least 12 people after the lynching incident that took place on December 18. However, human rights organizations say that these arrests are not enough and strict action should be taken against the culprits. The increasing violence has raised serious questions on the law and order and social harmony of the country.
