The scary truth of Bangladesh: To save themselves, did the factory workers hand over Dipu to the mob? Know the whole story
News India Live, Digital Desk: When and where humanity dies can be estimated by looking at the latest incident in Bangladesh. A few days ago we all heard the heart-wrenching news of a Hindu youth, Dipu Chandra Das, who was surrounded by a mob in Mymensingh, beaten and then burnt alive. Then it was said that he had committed ‘blasphemy’ (insulting religion). But today, when the investigation report of the police and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has come out, the truth that has come out can make even a stone-hearted person cry. The truth is that Dipu was innocent. And he could have been saved. A false allegation and a ‘conspiracy’ related death. Bangladesh’s elite force RAB has clearly said that no evidence of blasphemy has been found against Dipu Chandra Das. They searched his social media, questioned people, but no one knows what made him say that? The RAB commander says, “We tried again and again to find out what he told to whom, but no eyewitnesses were found. It was just a rumour.” Just imagine, a 25-30 year old boy, at whose home an ailing father and wife were waiting for him, was lynched by a mob just on the basis of a rumour. “The factory made him a scapegoat?” The most shocking and infuriating thing that happened in the investigation. What has come to light is the attitude of the managers of the factory. It is reported from the reports and RAB that when the crowd gathered outside the factory and started creating ruckus, the responsible people present there chose an “easy way out” instead of saving Deepu or calling the police. It is being said that in order to save the factory from the anger of the mob, the managers first made Deepu write a resignation letter and then pushed him out of the gate, handing over to that dreaded mob. The meaning is clear that to save one’s own skin and property, a person’s life was traded. Police also say that if they had been informed in time, perhaps Dipu would have been alive today. 10 arrested, but will Dipu return? Now when there is chaos all over the world, Bangladesh administration has woken up. So far, about 10-12 people including the factory manager have been arrested in this case. The interim government is now talking about “justice”. But the question is, where was this administration when humanity itself was dead? This incident is not just a ‘murder’, it is a slap on the system where rumors become bigger than the law and an innocent man becomes the victim of “mobocracy”. Deepu is gone, but his half-burnt corpse will always ask the question “What was my fault?”
