Twelve platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have been deployed in Dhaka and nearby districts to maintain law and order following a series of arson and violence incidents. BGB spokesperson Shariful Islam confirmed the deployment on Friday, citing the need to ensure public safety. The move comes after multiple cases of buses and vehicles being set on fire across the capital in recent days. On Thursday night, miscreants torched a parked bus in Shah Ali Beribadh area, leading to one suspect’s death while fleeing and another being detained by locals. Similar arson attacks were reported earlier in Kamalapur, Jatrabari, Uttara, and other areas, along with crude bomb (cocktail) attacks targeting police. Authorities have increased security measures to prevent further unrest and ensure public safety in the capital.
