Government agrees to a proposal first published in M-M and Nirvana forum
|
Dear NFB forum members,
I proposed in one of my recent write-ups in Mukto-mona forum that the government should announce a reward money of 1 crore to a person who could identify the mastermind or his followers who are doing the grenade attacks in Bangladesh. This proposal was also published in Dhaka's Bangladesh Observer just 2-3 days ago.
Quite a few forum members wrote back in M-M and Nirvana forum discussing the pros and cons of my modest proposal once it was posted in these two forums.
This morning I read in the Daily Star that the government is planning to announce the reward of 1 crore for the whistle-blower whose information might lead to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators.
Who says that writing in the Internet or in print media does not have its effect?
Sincerely,
A.H. Jaffor Ullah

Tk 1 cr reward for disclosing attackers' identity planned
1,500 more cops to be recruited urgently
Star Report
The government may announce a reward of Tk 1 crore to anyone disclosing the names of the persons or groups responsible for August 21 grenade attack on Sheikh Hasina.
State Minister for Home Lutfozzaman Babar and Home Secretary Omar Faruk met with top police officials including the inspector general of police and heads of different intelligence agencies Friday night and discussed the merit of announcing such a bounty.
He got a positive feedback from the law enforcing agencies which felt that such a move would make it difficult for the attackers to remain hidden. The meeting felt that some of the lower-level operatives of the group involved in the attacks might be lured by the cash reward into coming with information. The government would keep the name of the informant a secret.
The idea of reward came as detectives are still in the dark about the identity of the attackers, tarnishing the image of the government. They visited the spot five days after the attack and the area where the attack was carried out was left open to anyone. This has destroyed some vital evidence, many alleged. No arrests have been made in connection with the attacks.
Friday's meeting also decided to immediately recruit 1,500 police to boost security. Eight more police stations will be set up on a priority basis. | | |
