Authorities have deployed Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel at several strategic points in Dhaka to maintain law and order following the return of Inqilab Mancha convener Sharif Osman Hadi’s body. The deployment was confirmed Friday afternoon by BGB spokesperson Md Shariful Islam, who said forces were stationed around Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Karwan Bazar, and Hotel Intercontinental.

The heightened security comes amid a tense atmosphere in the capital after Hadi’s death was reported Thursday night. Officials said BGB units were placed in the airport’s civil aviation zone, domestic terminal, and inner roundabout to prevent any untoward incidents during the body’s arrival. Police presence has also been reinforced across major roads.

Observers note that the government’s swift security response aims to avert unrest as supporters demand justice for Hadi’s killing. Demonstrations have already been reported in parts of Dhaka, with calls for the perpetrators’ arrest and exemplary punishment. Authorities are expected to maintain the deployment until the situation stabilizes.
