Security beefed up at Supreme Court
Staff Correspondent
Security at the Supreme Court has been heightened as part of precautionary measures in light of the ongoing situation in the country.
The measures were implemented since Saturday morning, a Supreme Court official confirmed the matter.
"There is a statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman inside the Supreme Court premises. Therefore, security has been reinforced as a precautionary step," he said.
Earlier on 5 February, the house of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Dhanmondi 32 was demolished using a crane. On Wednesday, following a declaration by Hasnat Abdullah, the convener of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, to free Bangladesh from being a ‘sanctuary of fascism,’ the house was attacked and set on fire. Finally, at 11:06 p.m., the demolition of the house began.
