Bangladesh government withdrew police protection from my residence suddenly on May 5, 2008. I made numerous requests to them to restore the protection. But, it was never done.
My brother Dr. Richard L Benkin also made similar requests, but in vain. This afternoon, an official with Uttara Police Station [where my residence is located] told me on condition of anonymity that the police protection was withdrawn following a high-level instruction. I was also assured by several high officials that the police protection will be back. But it hasn't returned!
