We mourn the deaths
Dying in the line of duty they have nation's gratitude
Gruesome murder of two Rab men, Deputy Assistant Director Humayun Kabir and constable Phool Mia, both intelligence operatives in plainclothes, has shocked and exasperated us beyond measure. These men died not only in extreme helplessness, they were blindfolded and led away to the death trap, finishing them off in a vicious way. As the first such casualties of Rab man, the authorities need to sit up and take note. A new dimension in crime taking on the powerful seems to be noticeable. Just as the top brass in the law enforcing authority must strengthen their strategic equipment and intelligence ramparts against the venality and new-found modernity of the criminal networking, they must raise the level of human intelligence gathering through cooperation in the community. Except for crossfire deaths which we never tired of vociferously complaining against Rab, in most other aspects Rab has been a positive influence in reducing crimes, infusing new dynamism in crime control and forcing the criminals largely out of operation. Let's not forget, the introduction of Rab has had a seminal effect in chastening the ever rising the ranks of criminals. They have removed the gnawing sense of insecurity from society. Of course there is so much more to be done by preserving the human rights values. They died in the line of duty and this is the noblest way a law man can think of dying. We condole their untimely death and share the grief of their relatives. No compensation can be equal to the sense of loss but we believe their families will be amply recompensed.
