20 police members killed in 21 years, verdict in 3 cases only

Delays in investigations, slow trial proceedings, and witnesses failing to appear in court have hindered justice. Many accused have been released on bail or fled the country, highlighting systemic issues in the criminal justice process. Prothom Alo
