The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has issued a ‘red alert’ on border points so that the accused of the city’s Banani rape case could not get any chance to flee the country.
The DMP has already sent written and oral orders to the emigration police in this connection, official sources said.
It also issued the red alert in the country’s international airports to curb the rapists, they said.
An Assistant Superintendent of Police (Immigration) said that they have taken all types of steps so that the accused could not flee the country after getting instructions from the DMP.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Nazmul Alam, Deputy Commissioner (DB-North) on Monday afternoon said that police have traced the spot of the accused.

As per the amended law, he said, one director will be able to remain in his post for nine consecutive years. After giving a three-year break, he will be eligible to be director again for another nine years, the Cabinet Secretary said.
Currently, one is allowed to remain director of a bank for six years and after a three-year break he or she can be director for another six years, Shafiul Alam said.
The Draft Law also restricts commercial banks from selecting, nominating, appointing and posting anyone to the posts of Director, Managing Director and Chief Executive officer without any prior approval of the central bank.
“If the Bangladesh Bank rejects the selection, nomination, appointment and posting that will stand cancelled,” the Cabinet Secretary said.
He said the Cabinet also approved in principle the draft of the new law titled ‘One Stop Services Act, 2017’ aimed at attracting more local and foreign investment in the country.
Under the proposed Draft Law, a central one stop service authority comprising four authorities namely-Bangladesh Export Processing Zone Authority, Bangladesh Investment Development Authority, Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority and Bangladesh High-tech Park Authority-will work through coordination among them.
Some 27 types of services, including 16 common services like trade license, visa assistance, electricity, gas, water, telephone services, would be provided from there to lessen the sufferings of investors.
Shafiul Alam said necessary rules will be formulated later to ensure services. He said the officials who fail to comply with rules and ensure services within the fixed time will be held responsible for misconduct and the officials concerned will be punished for that.
