We have often praised the Bangladesh police for its hard work and dedication to keeping us safe, especially since the deadly terror attacks of last year, but a recent revelation points to a worrying trend. A Bangladeshi militant, Golam Rabbani, deported from Malaysia has been missing since July 19, and the authorities seem to be clueless regarding his whereabouts since the night he left Malaysia for Bangladesh. The fact that the airport police were not even made aware of the deportation is equally concerning. The incident requires immediate and thorough investigation, and questions must be raised as to how this could have happened at all. The administration must take immediate steps to improve and strengthen our surveillance systems, and various government agencies need to work in concert with the police on cases such as this to make sure they don’t reoccur.
