Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Director General Additional IGP AKM Shahidur Rahman on Wednesday said there is no risk for general voters in Thursday’s national election, warning that those attempting to disrupt the polls will face the music.
“The risk in this election is for those who want to sabotage it. Those who attempt fake voting, snatch ballot boxes, attack polling centres or violate the law by rejecting the results will be at risk,” he said while responding to a question at a press briefing held at Rajdhani High School of Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in the capital.
Highlighting RAB’s stance against violations of the electoral code of conduct, the RAB chief said the force remains vigilant.
“Those committing such offences are being detained. From today until the election, we will remain on highest alert. Law enforcement agencies, along with executive and judicial magistrates, are working in the field. InshAllah, we will be able to pass the remaining time smoothly,” he said.
Asked about the number of RAB personnel deployed, he said the force is working in coordination with other agencies.
