Eight
people were murdered per day on average in the month of July this year,
Bangladesh Human Rights Commission (BHRC), a local rights body, has said.
During
the period, a total of 261 people were murdered in the country while only 139
people died of Covid-19, said a BHRC report on Monday.
Among
them, family violence claimed most lives (15), followed by deaths from social
violence (17), murders for dowry (2) and murders after the abduction (2), according
to the report. Besides, 31 deaths were reported as mysterious ones.
Five
political murders and two killings by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) were
also documented.
“The
increasing murders can be brought down to zero through dynamic activities of
law enforcement agencies,” the organisation said.
Besides,
two victims were murdered after rape this month. BHRC also recorded seven incidents
of rape during the period.
Meanwhile,
BHRC said 195 people were killed in road accidents across the country while four
others took their own lives.
The
organisation prepared the report based on data from its district, upazila, and
municipality branches, and reports published by national newspapers.
