Preparations taken to curb anarchy over Khaleda verdict: Home minister

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said on Wednesday law enforcement agencies have taken all necessary preparations to deal with any kind of chaos and anarchy over Thursday's verdict in Khaleda Zia's graft case, reports UNB.

"It's very natural that the court will pronounce verdict after trial. We have no information about the verdict. Everything depends on court. We'll carry out our duty as per the court order," said Asaduzzman while talking to reporters at the Secretariat.

The court will fix whether the BNP chairperson will be convicted or acquitted. If she is punished, she will be kept in jail according to jail code. The authorities concerned have already taken preparations, he said.

The law enforcement agencies have been kept ready to handle any situation as ensuring security for people is their duty, the minister said.

The four main criminals behind the attack on police on January 30 from the motorcade of Khaleda Zia have been identified and arrested, he said.
