Dhaka residents faced a terrifying night as a series of muggings occurred across various parts of the city in a short period, raising public concern and anger over the rising crime wave. Videos of armed criminals attacking people with guns and cleavers quickly went viral on social media, causing many to express their frustration with the law enforcement’s failure to address the issue. This surge in crimes has left citizens feeling increasingly unsafe, with many demanding action from the government to curb such incidents. Protesters also gathered in front of Dhaka University, calling for the resignation of the Home Adviser due to the ongoing lawlessness. Despite the government's launch of "Operation Devil Hunt" in early February, which was aimed at restoring order, there has been little improvement on the ground. During a late-night press briefing, Home Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury blamed opposition elements for destabilizing the country and claimed that law enforcement agencies would be instructed to enhance their patrolling. However, the public remains unconvinced, as violent incidents continue. Several muggings and robberies were reported yesterday, including an armed attack in Rampura where a jewelry shop owner was shot and robbed, and a shooting incident in Ashulia that left a TV actor wounded. Alongside these violent events, a rape attempt on a young girl in Badda and the ongoing threats from youth gangs in areas like Shankar have added to the sense of insecurity. Protests erupted as students and citizens demanded the government take concrete steps to ensure public safety and address the mounting criminal activities. While law enforcement has promised to increase patrols, doubts about their effectiveness remain high, with many citizens questioning the government's ability to protect them from such violent crimes. In response to the growing unrest, the Home Adviser assured the public that improvements in law and order would be visible soon, claiming that the situation had already begun to improve. However, given the persistent crime wave and public outcry, many are skeptical that meaningful change will occur without decisive action. As the protests continue, the government faces mounting pressure to restore order and protect its citizens from further violence.
