Security stepped up in city to check muggings

Motorcyclists and CNG drivers had to pass through check points set up by law enforcement agencies at different points in Dhaka on Friday, the weekly holiday.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police officials said that security had been stepped up to check street mugging and petty crimes.

Inspector General of police Hasan Mahmud Khandaker told New Age that it was just a routine work for them to enhance security and vigilance.

The lawmen had set up check posts for CNG-run three wheelers and motorcyclists at Tejgaon, Gulshan, Baily Road, Shantinagar, Farmgate and some other places.

RAB intelligence wing Chief Lieutenant Colonel Ziaul Ahsan said that they had beefed up security to check mugging during the holiday as many streets remain deserted on the day.

A total of 37 muggings were reported in the city in last few days, police said.
