What is The purpose of Spreading communalism???

"Recently, in Rouzan, Chittagong, there is an attempt to focus on an incident involving a missing youth named Shibli Sadik, aged 20, and the discovery of his body. This incident has become the center of attention on various social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube. Some individuals are making efforts to spread communal and divisive narratives surrounding this incident. They are spreading various misleading information and attempting to provoke animosity between Bengalis and hill tribe people. As a result, instances of hate speech and harassment against hill tribe communities are occurring in various places. This is completely unacceptable. It is necessary for everyone to maintain unity."

Regarding the recent incident, it is learned through media that in the Kadlapur area of Rouzan, Chittagong, there is an incident related to a missing youth named Shibli Sadik. He was working under Shibli Sadik in a poultry farm in the hills (Marma community). Even though the matter was resolved by the farm owners, on August 28, Shibli Sadik was abducted, and some of the hill youth working on the farm were also taken away.

Later, the father of the abducted youth went to Bandarban and paid a ransom of two lakh Taka to the kidnappers. However, even after the kidnappers promised to release Shibli Sadik, he did not return home. Consequently, the father of the abducted youth filed a case with the police station, and the police arrested several individuals, including Umang Singh Marma, the main accused in the case, from the Chandgaon area of Chittagong city.

Then, on the night of September 11, a police team led by the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of the Rouzan police station, along with Umang Singh Marma, recovered some skeletal remains from the jungle of Betbunia Union in Rangamati, a bordering area of Rouzan upazila. Subsequently, with these skeletal remains, the police returned to the police station and headed towards the Kadlapur area of Kadlapur, sparking unrest among the locals.

People threw logs on the road, blocked the police vehicle, and attacked Umang Singh Marma, who was in police custody, leading to a violent clash. The crowd took Umang Singh Marma from the police and lynched him."

After this incident, attempts are being made to spread misinformation through media channels. Through social media, people are posting and creating videos to spread information in a distorted manner. Some have started propagating false narratives, such as 'tribals have killed and eaten the heart' to create hatred within a certain section of Bengalis. This has led to social media users making various allegations. Additionally, in areas including Rangunia and parts of Chittagong city, people are using social media to insult hill people, telling them to 'eat human flesh,' and similar derogatory remarks.

Furthermore, in the adjacent areas of Rouzan, hill students and hill residents are living in fear and distress, as they have become targets of harassment and threats.

The point is, regardless of the offender's identity, they must face punishment. Those involved in the 'heart attack' incident must also be held accountable, and there must be a proper legal process. The country has laws and a judicial system to handle such cases. However, taking the suspect from the custody of the police, lynching them, is a serious crime in itself. It is extrajudicial killing. Therefore, those involved in this lynching cannot escape punishment. They must also be brought within the framework of the law to ensure justice."

On the other hand, it is the responsibility of the police to protect the suspect and ensure their proper processing in court. However, the police failed to do so. Instead, the police took the suspect away from their custody before handing them over to the court, and the suspect was lynched. This is a grave crime in itself. Whether it was due to police weakness or complicity is difficult to ascertain. Because if the police had taken appropriate measures to disperse the crowd and protect the suspect in accordance with the law, the lynching could have been prevented. However, whether the police deliberately allowed the lynching to happen is a matter that needs investigation."

The text discusses the responsibility of the police to protect suspects and ensure they are properly processed through the legal system. It also raises questions about whether the police played a role in allowing the lynching to occur and suggests that further investigation is needed to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The Shibli Sadik Hriday murder case is an isolated incident. Such incidents are unfortunately observed in various parts of the country. Those responsible for these crimes are considered criminals under the country's prevailing laws, and they will face legal consequences.

However, the key question here is why this incident is being used as a focal point to exert pressure on an entire community? What is the purpose behind it, and who is spreading this communal hatred? Are there any vested interests involved? These questions need to be answered. Therefore, it is necessary for the government and the administration to keep a close watch on the Rouzan incident to prevent the emergence of any communal situation and take legal action against those who are spreading communal hatred.
