Payel’s killers be exemplarily punished

The death of Saidur Rahman Payel, a student of North South University, who was brutally killed by workers of Hanif Paribahan, was absolutely heart-wrenching. We, as a society, must be ashamed of what happened. And we owe his parents an apology.
What kind of a society do we live in where something like this can happen? And what is even more shocking is that no one from the government has as yet come out with any statement. Neither has the NSU authorities expressed any protest against such brutality.
All the big transport owners are well connected with government high-ups and law enforcing agencies. This is why no stern actions are taken against recklessness, and why this continues to happen. In this case, however, we must demand action. We must demand that the culprits be exemplarily punished.
