In a widely criticized incident that has drawn national outrage, two mothers in Feni were forced to kneel and publicly apologize during a village arbitration, following accusations that their sons had stolen chickens and pigeons. The humiliating act was orchestrated by local BNP leader Delwar Hossain, who presided over the informal trial and enforced the public apology. A video of the incident quickly circulated on social media, triggering widespread condemnation from citizens, human rights activists, and legal experts alike. The footage prompted serious concern over the misuse of social power and the violation of human dignity. In response to the backlash, the BNP has suspended Delwar Hossain from all party responsibilities. Meanwhile, local police have launched an investigation into the incident, exploring the possibility of taking legal action against those involved.
