Police say they have considered recent violent incidents in different countries, including the mosque shootings in New Zealand, and Mar 26 Independence Day to beef up security in the areas. The number of check posts in the areas has been raised since early Sunday morning. Surveillance surrounding the clubs and foreign missions has also been heightened, Gulshan Police Station OC Abdu Bakr Siddique said. Besides the check posts, additional plainclothesmen have been posted in the area, OC Siddique said. “We’ve taken additional measures alongside routine security after the terrorist attack in New Zealand,” Moshtaque Ahmed, a deputy commissioner at Dhaka Metrpolitan Police, told bdnews24.com.
