DHAKA, 13 April, 2021 (TON): Following an order by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), light machine gun posts have been installed and additional police have been deployed, a top official said on Tuesday.
This move was followed by a militant attack threat.
Any attack either carried out by the Hifazat-e-Islami militant outfit or other extreme communal forces on the country's police will not be spared, said the Deputy Commissioner of Police Dhaka's Tejgaon Zone, Harun-Ur-Rashid.
He said that special security measures were put in place at police stations in Dhaka on Monday.
He added that a number of extremist group leaders and activists were arrested as a precautionary measure against the threat on Monday.
Meanwhile, on Monday, the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) submitted its investigation report in the case filed over the death of the group’s former chief (amir) Shah Ahmad Shafi, accusing 43 members of the militant outfit, including the organization's incumbent chief.
