Recent incidents of brutal killings through mob beatings have occurred in some areas. The Police Headquarters has stated that such ‘mob justice’ is completely unacceptable. On Friday (September 20), AIG (Media and PR) Enamul Haque Sagor shared this information. 

He said that if someone commits a crime, there are legal provisions in place for their trial according to the country’s laws. No one has the right to take the law into their own hands. If a person commits an offense, they must be handed over to the authorities, and under no circumstances should anyone resort to vigilante action. 

Enamul Haque Sagor further added that if someone witnesses a crime or wrongdoing, they should contact the national emergency service 999 or the nearest police station. The Police Headquarters is making a special appeal to everyone not to take the law into their own hands. He emphasized that to prevent the recurrence of incidents like mob justice or beatings, the Police Headquarters seeks the cooperation of all conscious citizens. Bangladesh Police remains committed to maintaining law and order in the country and ensuring the safety and security of the public.
