Calling corruption the biggest problem of the country, Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury on Tuesday warned that those involved in ‘case trading and graft’ will not be spared.
“No one involved in case trading and corruption will be spared. But, yes, corruption is the biggest problem in Bangladesh. If it could be brought under control, the country would have advanced significantly,” he said.
Adviser Jahangir made the remarks while responding to questions from reporters during his visit to Gachha police station in Gazipur city Tuesday morning.
Highlighting the police reform initiative, he said as part of the reform an initiative has been taken to accept cases and GDs online across the country and there will be no need to come to the police station in person.
Besides, he said, a ‘glass room’ will be provided for questioning the accused in custody, allowing people to see how they are being treated from outside.
Replying to another query, he said the plaintiffs in the murder cases of July and August are a large number of people and it is taking time to end the investigations to determine who is guilty and who is innocent as there are many accused in their cases.
