The collapse of law and order in Yunus’s Bangladesh has reached such a dire state that not even members of the armed forces are safe. The latest incident took place in Raipur upazila of Lakshmipur, where a retired Navy officer and his two daughters were brutally hacked over a land dispute.
This is not just an isolated crime—it is a chilling reflection of the dangerous reality under Yunus’s rule, where criminals act with impunity and ordinary people are drowning in fear and insecurity.
The so-called rule of law now exists only in political speeches. In practice, people receive no justice, the police remain indifferent, and criminals become bolder and more vicious. The Lakshmipur attack is not an anomaly—it is part of a disturbing pattern of violence that directly exposes the failure of this regime and its security apparatus.
A former Navy officer—someone who once risked his life in service to the country—is now bleeding inside his own home alongside his children, while the authorities neither respond nor intervene. Worse still, when victims seek legal redress, they are threatened with death: “If you file a case, we’ll kill you.” This is today’s horrifying reality.
The land dispute, like many others across the country, had dragged on for years with no resolution from the authorities. The state’s failure to mediate or enforce a solution ultimately led to this bloodshed.
So the question stands: who is safe in this country anymore? If retired members of the army, navy, or police can’t feel secure in their own homes with their children, what can ordinary farmers, workers, students, or housewives expect?
As long as the Yunus regime remains in power, such incidents will only continue. Corruption, favoritism, and political influence have permeated every layer of the administration. Arresting criminals is out of the question—instead, they now boldly issue threats in public, record videos, and act as though they know nothing will ever happen to them.
Bangladesh has reached a point where seeking justice is itself a dangerous act. If this is what “governance” looks like, then it is democracy in name only—what we’re really living through is a silent terror.
