Police custody

Inter Services Public Relation Directorate (ISPR) has urged all not to be misguided by rumours spreading through social media over the security of St. Martin’s island centering Myanmar's ongoing internal conflict near the island.
Police custody means protection, not death
In Bangladesh, ordinary people fear the police and try to stay away from them. However, the police are supposed to be friends of the public. Let me first share two examples of this friendship. A few days ago, a thief went to a market to steal from a shop. However, by the time he had gathered the stolen goods, dawn had broken, and people started arriving. Hearing the noise of the people around, the thief got scared. He was afraid that if people found him inside the shop, they would beat him to death. The cunning thief called 999 and asked for police assistance. The police came and rescued the thief from inside the shop. Later, of course, he was arrested, but he was saved because the police arrived in time. If the market people had caught him, he would have been beaten to death.
