There is no scope to escape punishment after committing any crime in the country, said Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Mainul Islam on Saturday.
“Those who are involved in wrongdoings are few in numbers and if we all remain united, they will be insignificant. Yesterday’s incident proves this. We have arrested them and taken prompt action. So those who want to commit crimes have no chance to escape,” he said.
The IGP came up with the remark while talking to reporters after visiting Ramkrishna Moth and Temple in the morning.
