Police, however, said the deployment is part of their “regular security exercise”. When asked, an officer at a Dhaka police station told bdnews24.com: “We were instructed by the DMP headquarters to display force between 4pm and 5pm. One exploded on the church’s steel gate, while police later recovered another unexploded device from inside the compound. Assistant Sub-Inspector Nazmul Huda of Ramna Police Station said the church’s regular activities are continuing as usual and there is “no problem” with the situation.
