Notorious gangster Sakil fears 'fake encounter', releases video on social media

Dreaded gangster Md Sakil, who has several cases pending against him, claimed a threat to his life. Through a video on Facebook, the gangster alleged that police were trying to kill him in a ‘fake encounter’. Sakil is currently out on bail.

The 1.03-second video was released on his Facebook page. He expressed his wish to shun violence and join the mainstream.

“There is the top court and laws to provide justice to everyone. So, I request the top court to provide me justice. Law means that a culprit should be punished. But, the law also says that an innocent should not get punished. I’m innocent now. There is no case now against me. So, as a common citizen, I have all the rights for justice,” Sakil said through a video message.

“Even the law states that society should let the criminals shun violence and join the mainstream. But, it is the complete opposite here. They are trying to find and encounter me. So, I request for justice through this video,” he ended.

No comments could be obtained from senior police officials in this connection.
