'So Many Lives Lost in a Flash': Mashrafe Mortaza Reacts as Communal Violence Rocks Bangladesh

At least six people have been killed and hundreds injured during in the communal violence. The attacks were reportedly triggered after an alleged blasphemy incident at a Durga Puja pavilion in Cumilla.

Mortaza said the events have shattered his heart and he prayed god shows them the right path.

He penned his thoughts in Bengali which loosely translates to, “Yesterday I saw two losses. One Bangladesh cricket team’s, which pained me.  The other being the whole of Bangaldesh’s, something that shattered my heart. This red and green (colours of the flag signifying the nation) is not what we wanted. So many dreams, so many hard-earned lives lost in a flash. Allah give us Hidayat.”

The United Nations has urged Bangladesh government to ensure protection of minorities and an impartial probe into the incidents.

“Recent attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh, fuelled by hate speech on social media, are against the values of the Constitution and need to stop. We call upon the Government to ensure protection of minorities and an impartial probe. We call upon all to join hands to strengthen inclusive tolerant Bangladesh,” Mia Seppo, UN Resident Coordinator in Bangladesh, said.

Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan has said the inter-community ties have been disturbed to defame the govenrment. “The incident in Comilla that triggered the violence was orchestrated by some people to disturb inter-community ties and defame our government,” said Asaduzzaman said.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
