Gotham but no Batman': Crime wave grips Dhaka 6 months after Hasina fled
Briefly

In Bangladesh's capital, youth are increasingly vulnerable to muggings and assaults under Muhammad Yunus's interim government, raising feelings of betrayal among activists like Maydul Hassan. After experiencing multiple robberies, Hassan, a student who participated in last year's protests that led to the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, wonders about the worth of his sacrifices. Frustration mounts as he describes a lack of police response and political opportunism, with individuals from rival political factions exploiting the chaos. This environment generates a sense of hopelessness among those who risked their lives for change.
Hassan reflects on his experience: 'This is what I got in return, he said. The nation is drowning in crime, no one seems to care.'
Hassan's sentiment captures a larger frustration: 'I cried, I begged, but the police did nothing.' His story highlights a troubling rise in crime.
The young student questions the purpose of their sacrifices: 'What was it all for?' expressing disillusionment with the current state of the nation.
