Police Remand in Bangladesh: A Critical Evaluation of Statutory Implication

Abstract

Torture and brutality under any circumstances cannot be treated as acceptable for human kind. In every independent nation the foremost concern is to protect the people, giving the rights to the people. Internationally the concern of human rights gives birth to several organizations to protect the human rights but derogation of human rights have occurred time to time and still happening in the world through torture and brutality. Sometimes such torture occurred by the persons who are in the charge to protect the people, namely the police. Police being involve in brutality and torture is a matter of great concern as they have the power which is different from the mass-people. In Asia sub-continent police are being seen praising when they committed cross-fire. Such revengeful activities do not decrease when they have the backup by law as we can see in the matter of Bangladesh. In Bangladesh remand is in the statute by which police are being accused of torture and brutality. We need to study the grounds of such provisions in the light of jurisprudence and evaluate the derogation of rights by Bangladesh police and to identify the reasons behind the terrified assumption of police remand in the people of Bangladesh.
