Ensure exemplary punishment for rapist of DU student

With a plan to study together with a friend at her place, a female student of Dhaka University had left her dormitory on Sunday afternoon. But in the evening, she was raped in the city's Kurmitola area. The incident once again laid bare the fact that women in the city are not safe.
According to the case statement, the student set out in a university bus at 5:40pm from the campus to reach her friend’s house in Shewra area in the capital. The bus stopped in Kurmitola at 7:00pm and the student started walking towards Shewra. The rapist, aged between 25 and 30, grabbed her by the neck near Golf Club and doped her. The student lost consciousness and later she was raped and beaten up. He also took her bag, Tk 2000 and a cell phone.
The victim has been undergoing treatment at the One-stop Crisis Centre of Dhaka Medical College Hospital. We salute the courage she has shown by keeping her head high. An incident of rape is a shame for the country. We are embarrassed by such repeated incidents. According to data released by an NGO, as many as 1413 girls and women were raped and physically abused in 2019. Eighteen of them committed suicide while 44 men were assaulted when they tried to protest. It only means the society is unable to control the rapists. Rather the rapists are controlling the society.
We regret to say that it appears women in Bangladesh are not safe, neither at home nor outside. We could not identify the rapists of Comilla's Sohagi Jahan Tonu. The Banani Raintree Hotel rape case has not been solved either. The rapists of Subarnachar gangerape case have not been brought to book as well. However, the rapists and killers of Rupa Khatn of Tangail have been handed punishment.
The students of Dhaka University and people from all walks of life have taken to the street demanding exemplary punishment for the rapist. If we cannot ensure that it will send a wring message to everyone as culprits will know they can evade punishment after committing big crimes. Now that the rapist has been nabbed we want a speedy trial and implementation of the verdict.
