Not really. The problem isn’t the law itself; the problem is that the police will see you as a problem, and you’ll end up arrested.
Once you’re arrested, they can charge you with anything they want. Once you’re in, there’s no way out. The Bangladeshi judiciary system is a bottomless pit of hell—you can only sink deeper from there.
We have a property that got entangled in their system. It was the government’s fault, yet we are still paying the price. Somehow, they mistakenly registered the name of the person we bought the property from decades ago in their new system. That person is most likely gone—he might not even be alive. Yet they’re telling us to produce him. We have all the legal documents; it was a simple error on their part, but even after 5–6 years, the case is still ongoing.
If you’re arrested and they decide to charge you with a drug case, you’re doomed. There is no future in this country for you. It’s better to settle anywhere else than remain in this hell. We are also trying to leave. Our remittances help this country, but what’s the point of bringing money into a place where neither your life nor your property is safe?
If we convert our hard-earned money into Bangladeshi Taka, it loses value. If we buy property, it gets stuck in the system due to their mismanagement or mistakes. So why should we contribute anything to this country?
We are not safe here. Our lives, our lands, and our properties are not safe.
