খুলনায় তিন দিনে গ্রেপ্তার ১৮৪, বেশির ভাগই ‘চুনোপুঁটি’, শীর্ষ সন্ত্রাসীরা অধরা

Law enforcement agencies in Khulna have apprehended 184 individuals over a three-day special joint operation. However, only three of those arrested are identified as notorious criminals, with the majority being minor offenders and alleged drug users or dealers. The operation, which included the establishment of new police outposts and increased patrols in crime-prone areas, aimed to curb rising crime rates, including extortion and land grabbing, often allegedly facilitated by political influence. While police state the operation is ongoing and intensified, critics argue that focusing on petty criminals without apprehending major figures is ineffective and merely a show of force. Authorities did, however, gather significant intelligence on a criminal syndicate known as 'B Company' during the operation.

The operation highlights a persistent challenge in law enforcement: balancing the apprehension of numerous minor offenders with the capture of high-profile criminals, raising questions about the effectiveness of such strategies in truly tackling organized crime and ensuring public safety.
