It sounds unrealistic

It is shocking that eight months into the incident of sexual assault on women during this year’s Pahela Baishakh celebrations, police could not identify any of the culprits. Police submitted the final report in the case on December 24, 2015, saying that none of the culprits could be identified. In the evening of Pahela Baishakh (April 14, 2015), at least 20 women were sexually assaulted on Dhaka University campus for over an hour. We do not understand why the law enforcement agency failed to find out the assaulters. In our society anyone can get away scot-free even after committing the most gruesome crimes. This culture of impunity must end.
