Dhaka University student rape incident: we demand exemplary punishment of the rapist

We are protesting and condemning the brutal rape incident of a Dhaka University student in Kurmitola on Airport Road.
“I am severely condemning and protesting the brutal rape student of a Dhaka University student in Kurmitola on Airport Road, which took place on Sunday night. I have no word to condemn the incident.
In recent times, the incidents of torture and rape against women and children have increased alarmingly. According to a report of Ain O Salish Kendra (ASK), 1413 women were raped in 2019; the number of victims was 732 in 2018. Besides, 76 women and children were murdered following the physical assault and rape. 10 women and children committed suicide after they the experienced worst ever experience of their lives. But in reality, the number of victims and casualties are significantly higher. At present, public life and properties are not safe. Family members are passing time in worry since their women left home for a job or any other purposes. Such brutalities in broad daylight demonstrate the severe deterioration of the law and order situation nationwide. A civilised country cannot function in such away.
‘I am urging the concerned authorities to find out the criminals who were involved with the incident of raping Dhaka University student and ensuring his exemplary punishment. I am also calling upon the authority to undertake all-out measures to facilitate citizen’s safe transportation and movement in Dhaka and other places around the country’.
I am urging the authority to ensure people’s safety and security in Bangladesh-
