DHAKA: Security has been beefed up at the Supreme Court (SC) area in the city following three time bombs found in two books at High Court on Sunday afternoon.

Huge member of law enforcers have been deployed at all entrances since Monday morning.  Besides increasing vigilance of uniformed police, plain-cloth members of law enforcement agencies were also deployed in the area.

After searching, Justice-seekers and lawyers are being allowed to enter the court since morning.  Lawmen also are checking people at entrances of main building of court and Annex Bhaban.

Regarding the matter, Supreme Court registrar SM Kuddus Jaman told banglanews that tight security measures have been taken in the court area to avert any untoward situation.
