Tejgaon Division Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Jewel Rana has warned that anyone attempting to tamper with or snatch ballot boxes during the upcoming election will face severe consequences. Speaking at a security briefing on Tuesday, he said law enforcement agencies will maintain the strictest stance to ensure order during voting. He emphasized that the army, police, Rapid Action Battalion, Border Guard Bangladesh, and Ansar will all be on duty with modern weapons to deter any attempt to disrupt the election.

Rana made the remarks after a joint foot patrol drill by the army, RAB, and police in Mohammadpur, saying that a secure environment has been created to instill fear among potential troublemakers. He added that preemptive action has already been taken based on intelligence reports. Earlier, Inspector General of Police Baharul Alam announced that advanced technology, including CCTV cameras at 90 percent of polling centers, body-worn cameras for officers at high-risk locations, and drones for area monitoring, will be used to prevent fraud and violence.

Police headquarters stated that 187,603 officers have been deployed nationwide in three security tiers to ensure voter safety and a peaceful election environment.
