Police to provide security protocols for political parties ahead of polls

All political parties will get security protocols from the police before to the impending legislative elections and referendum.

According to the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing this afternoon, the protocol will provide precise recommendations on how security would be maintained at the homes and offices of political leaders and prospective candidates in the next elections, as well as during their mobility, public demonstrations, and online.

Additionally, steps have been taken to give important political personalities and frontline leaders of the July Uprising more security.

Besides, the police have already identified the attacker and his associates in connection with the shooting of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson and possible independent candidate for the Dhaka-8 constituency Sharif Osman Hadi.

Intensive operations by law enforcement agencies are ongoing to arrest them. 

The motorcycle used in the attack has already been seized, and fingerprint examinations of the suspects are being conducted.

Photographs and other pertinent information about the suspects were provided to all immigration checkpoints on Friday night in order to prevent the key suspect from ever entering the border.

Additionally, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and RAB patrols have increased in border regions.

Despite the fact that the suspects’ whereabouts have been tracked multiple times throughout the nation, their frequent location changes have made it impossible to apprehend them thus far.

Police have gathered the key suspect’s travel records in the interim. It revealed that he had visited several nations throughout the previous few years while posing as an IT entrepreneur.

According to information, he most recently traveled to Singapore on July 21.

Several other individuals suspected of being involved in the attack have also been brought under surveillance.

Besides, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today summoned the Indian High Commissioner and reiterated Bangladesh’s request for the extradition of Sheikh Hasina and Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, who have been convicted by the International Crimes Tribunal.

The High Commissioner has been informed that fugitive Sheikh Hasina, currently staying in India, has been continuously delivering provocative statements with the ill intention of disrupting peace, stability, and security in Bangladesh and foiling the upcoming polls, while she is also instructing her party supporters to carryout terrorist activities in the country.

The government of India has been requested to immediately stop these fascist and terrorist activities by her (Sheikh Hasina) and her associates who are absconding in India.

The Indian High Commissioner has also been urged to ensure India’s cooperation with Bangladesh to prevent the perpetrators of the attempted killing of Sharif Osman Hadi from fleeing to India, and, if they managed to escape to India, the Indian authorities should immediately take steps to arrest them and extradite them to Bangladesh.
