Abu Yusuf commented, “Such actions should be rewarded so that other officers can be encouraged and inspired to perform their duties in the same way.”
Md. Mamun wrote, “We want to see more humane police officers in our new Bangladesh.” Noor-e-Jahan, another commenter, stated, “He should be rewarded, sir. Recognizing such good work will encourage others to change their mindset.”
Fazlur Rahman remarked, “He gives the impression that he might strike but doesn’t—this is exactly how the police should operate.” Another user, Saiful Islam, wrote, “I demand that he be recognized as a model for the police community and be awarded a national honor.”
