Jail guards continue to be deployed at the two much-talked-about sub-jails on the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban premises despite release of the two former prime ministers who were detained there.
Contacted last night, Deputy Inspector General (prisons) Maj Shamsul Haider Siddique said eight jail guards are deployed there, four each in the two buildings. Besides, police are on duty there.
"The sub-jails were established on government orders. So, a government decision is needed for any changes in this regard," he said.
Of the two top leaders, Awami League President Sheikh Hasina was released from the sub-jail on June 11 and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on September 11.
