DHAKA, Nov 27, 2019 (BSS) – Different law enforcing agencies have taken
special security measures in and around the lower court area, where Dhaka
Anti-terrorism Special Tribunal is scheduled to pronounce judgment shortly in
the sensational Holey Artisan attack case.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s additional commissioners Mir Rezaul Alam and
Krishna Podo Roy inspected the area on November 26 and gave necessary
directions to police’s Lalbagh division and DC prosecution.

Confirming the matter to BSS, deputy commissioner (DC) prosecution Jafar
Hossain said the two senior police officials have gave them necessary
directions.

“Al though we are not expecting any untoward incident, but we are fully
prepared for any situation,” he said.

Officer-in-charge (OC) of Dhaka metropolitan court lockup Moinul Islam
said they have taken special measures in bringing and taking away the accused
to and from the court.

Two archways had been set up at the entrance of the courtroom, with extra
vigil from different law enforcing agencies. Journalists and lawyers would be
allowed to enter the courtroom only after 11.30am following thorough
