Dhaka, February 25 (Ians): The crime rate of Bangladesh increases at an alarming rate, according to police data, which shows that in January, cases of murder, kidnapping, robbery, theft and theft have all seen a peak throughout the country and were the worst compared until the last six years.

The data suddenly contrasts the internal counselor of internal affairs, Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, according to which the situation of the law and the order is “satisfactory” in Bangladesh, according to the local press.

The data of the police headquarters show that at least 294 cases of murder were submitted to different police stations in January this year. An analysis of the monthly data of the offenses of the last six years revealed that the largest number of robbery and robbery in a single month took place in January 2025, with 242 reported incidents, reports the country’s most important newspaper , The Daily Star.

Police data also disclose that incidents of offense, robbery and kidnapping have increased in December and November last year, compared to the corresponding months of the last five years.

Criticizing the statement of the government that the law and order were normal, a criminology teacher in Bangladesh asked, “are these crimes, who instill in the public, really a sign of satisfaction?”

The people of Bangladesh live in a constant fear of becoming victims of murder, theft, bite or theft, and the government seems uninterested and has no idea how to deal with the predominant situation, reported Daily Star, citing the teacher.

In a separate development, several violent offenses were reported in different parts of Dhaka on Sunday evening in a few hours.

Many went to social networks to express their indignation for law enforcement, as the videos with mistakes that attacked residents with weapons and glitter have gone viral.

Similarly, the situation outside Dhaka is reported to be as volatile, with a degrading law and a situation. This has led to a feeling of fear and insecurity among citizens, fearing people to go out.

Meanwhile, several students took a protest march on Monday to the Bangladesh secretariat, asking for his resignation because he did not ensure the public safety and degradation of the situation and the order in the country, according to the local media.
