There is no doubt that 2020 will go down in history as the year of a deadly pandemic when the fear of death accompanied the people at every step. In Bangladesh, many saw the pandemic as an opportunity to enrich themselves as various scams related to the outbreak were uncovered. );

Meanwhile, issues like the scandal involving Shamima Noor Papia, an expelled leader of Jubo Mohila League who allegedly ran escort services at the Westin hotel in Dhaka, the COVID testing scam which brought dubious businessman Mohammad Shahed under the spotlight, along with the killing of retired major Sinha Md Rashed Khan by the police, rank among the biggest talking points of the year.

The horrors of 2020 will continue into the year ahead. The devastation wrought by the pandemic will be lasting and painful. Bangladesh, just like the rest of the world, will be reeling with new surges of COVID patients dying or surviving with long-haul symptoms. The nation will remember 2020 as a year of grief and trauma. );

The virus has so much momentum that more infection and death are almost inevitable as the second pandemic year begins. Pain will probably ease, but never completely go away. Bangladesh showed clear signs of resilience in the relentless battle against the virus. The next few months will be dark, but every passing day brings a little more light with the news of the vaccine’s arrival.

IO says departmental action
against him enough Staff Correspondent Staff Correspondent
Although former Cox s Bazar superintendent of police ABM Masud Hossain was named in the charge sheet filed over the murder of Major (retd) Sinha Md Rashed Khan, he was not formally charged for the murder. The investigation officer scrutinised the evidence and recommended that departmental action be taken against SP Masud, said Lt Col Ashiq Billah, director of Rapid Action Battalion s legal and media wing, at a press conference held at Rab s media centre yesterday. The officer found him [Masud] to be negligent in his duties and unprofessional. He did not visit the spot when former officer-in-charge of Teknaf Police Station Pradeep Kumar Das called him to report Sinha s death, which he should have; nor did he ensure emergency medical attention for Maj (retd) Sinha, said Billah.
