The Rapid Action Battalion, police and Border Guards Bangladesh were on election duty in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and there was no negligence by law enforcers, said Huda. “They (election officials) were being escorted by the BGB from the front. The roads along the Chittagong Hill Tracts are very narrow. This was planned.”Asked if there was a security detail at the back of the convoy, the chief election commissioner said, “There wasn’t a lack of security. One of them was wounded by a gunshot.”The police have been instructed to launch an investigation and take measures against the assailants, said Huda.
