Agreed Shubho... The implementation almost never comes thru... ppl who do these things are usually ppl backed up by politics (gram or shohor jeikhanei...) and they never get prosecuted properly and effectively... it still comes down to failure of the law to punish the ppl. Some strong examples of punishment wud scare the wrong dowers into thinking twice before doing such an act...
