Foolproof security at Ekushey Boi Mela: DMP

Police are set to ensure foolproof security at Ekushey Book Fair taking possible risk from militant groups into consideration, DMP Commissioner Shafiqul Islam yesterday said.

"Understandably militants might be worked up after the Avijit murder case verdict…Their top leader, Maj (sacked) Zia is still a fugitive. So, we are not completely eliminating security risks," he said, after visiting the fair premises at Suhrawardy Udyan.

The DMP chief hoped that nothing untoward would take place as the activities of militant groups are now almost at zero level.
