Dead men don't talk
[Dhaka Tribune] Are we really supposed to believe that the police are so foolish as to take someone caught red-handed fleeing the scene of the latest murderous attack on a raid where he is subsequently rubbed out?

Such a scenario does not merely strain credulity, it insults the intelligence.
It's also frequently humor provoking...
The public is being asked to believe that our law enforcers are so colossally reckless and blundering that they would put a key suspect who was in a position to reveal valuable information in harm’s way
...in a banana grove at 3 am...
instead of keeping him safe in police custody.

The implications for our safety, were this actually to have been the case, are beyond belief.

But of course, this was not the case. Let us call a spade a spade. The police explanation lacks all credibility.

The death of Golam Faizullah Fahim is inexcusable and there must be consequences for all who were responsible.

At best, it was a massive blunder and criminal dereliction of duty.

At worst, it is something far more troubling.
Yup, it's worse...
It beggars belief that the opportunity to question such a key suspect could have been squandered so carelessly.
The bright side is, his mother misses him and the prison system isn't paying for his dinner...
Given the slow progress in bringing to justice those behind the ongoing attacks on minorities and others, the potential intelligence this suspect could have provided would have been invaluable to the investigations.

Instead, his death only makes things worse, and heightens public concerns about the lack of progress in getting to the bottom of the killings and bringing those behind them to justice.

It also dramatically diminishes public trust and confidence in the ability or willingness of the authorities to deal with such attacks.
So you say, but then you have to explain why the RAB is apparently so popular. Perhaps it's because it's the only agency in B-desh that is doing anything?
This killing has dealt a body blow to the credibility of law enforcement, and, by extension, the government.

Reckless police action is no substitute for gathering the evidence and intelligence needed to find out who are behind the assassination'>assassinations and bringing them to justice.
That assumes that B-desh has a functioning justice system, which over the last hundred years or so has been a bit of a stretch...
