The law and order situation in the neighboring country Bangladesh is getting worse to worse. There has been a huge increase in cases of murder, robbery, extortion and kidnapping. Alam is that the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus is helpful in tightening the criminals. This is the reason why 35 people have been killed in the last one and a half months. Official figures confirm this and are showing a worrying tendency to criminal activities. There is a lot of anger and anger among people from recent criminal incidents.
Media reports said that between January 1 to February 19, 2025, there have been 35 murders in the capital Dhaka. Apart from this, many cases of looting, robbery and kidnapping have also been reported. According to the report of Dhaka Tribune, on Tuesday night, on Tuesday night, armed robbers shot a young man and looted his belongings in Sati Khalpar area of Jatrabari. This growth in crime has forced the police to increase security and be more vigilant. On the other hand the common man is in panic. The Yunus government seems to be careless over the growing crime across the country. Contradictory statements are being made by the government. In the interim government, Home Affairs Advisor Moinuddin Abdullah, while underestimating the crisis, said that the law and order situation is satisfactory. His statement has increased doubts in the minds of the people as people are struggling with increasing insecurity.
On the other hand, the Bangladesh Police, which is responsible for law and order, has admitted that criminal activities have increased rapidly across the country including the capital Dhaka and people are frightened because of this. The official has exposed shocking cases of brutal murders, kidnapping and robbery in broad daylight in several reports. However, despite the severity of these crimes, the Younus government keeps claiming that the situation is under control.
This is the reason why the demand for the resignation of the advisor of the Home Affairs is now gaining momentum. Citizens also attended a large scale in protests led by students in Dhaka recently and sought the resignation of Home Affairs advisor Moinuddin Abdullah. The growing gap between official statements and ground reality has weakened confidence in Bangladesh institutions. Due to this, people are protesting on a large scale. Therefore, the judiciary, law enforcement agencies and political class are all facing tough challenges.
