Coordinators in custody for safety: DB chief

Monday, 29 July 2024



DB Chief Harun-or-Rashid has assured families of the detained quota reform movement coordinators that their loved ones are safe and there is no need for concern, reports UNB.
Speaking at a press conference at his DB office in the capital on Sunday, Harun said, "We have taken the coordinators into custody for their safety. We assure their families that there is no reason to worry. We are ensuring their security and their families should remain reassured." Three coordinators were brought to the DB office on Friday, followed by two more on Saturday evening.
When asked about this, Harun said, "It is our responsibility to apprehend those who have caused destruction, set fire to various establishments, and those Jamaat-Shibir miscreants involved."
He emphasized, “If someone feels unsafe and expresses that they could be harmed at any moment, it is our moral duty to bring them to safety. Questions may arise about why we are focusing on their security.”
“Remember, it was these individuals who were surrounded by a nefarious group aiming to overthrow the democratic government by infiltrating and inciting violence among innocent students," he added.
