3 incidents in 4 yrs raise concern over H'bag detention centre security
1 2 Hazaribag: The escape of three Bangladeshi nationals from a detention centre located on the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Central Jail premises in Hazaribag on Monday morning has raised concern about its security, as two similar incidents occurred in the past. The three persons have, however, been arrested on Tuesday morning. The centre comprising two rooms is dilapidated, with the roof of the building made of asbestos sheets. For external security, barbed wire is installed on the boundary walls. Foreign nationals are kept in these two rooms, while security personnel are deployed in the verandah of the building. A total of four were in the centre, but three escaped. Jail officials said the superintendent of police monitors the security and maintenance of the detention centre, and security personnel are deputed from the district police force. According to the information, the in-charge of the detention centre is a policeman of the rank of a havildar. The district administration deployed six policemen for the security of the Bangladeshis living in the Hazaribag detention centre, and now all six have been suspended. Among them, there were three female security personnel and three men. It is reported that the security personnel closed the door of the detention centre room from outside and slept in the verandah. However, when they woke up and opened the door of the room on Monday morning, the three Bangladeshis were missing. The history of foreign nationals escaping from the detention centre is old. Earlier, three foreign nationals escaped from here. Hazaribag police have not found any of them till date. On March 8, 2021, Jahid Hussain and Md Javed alias Md Noor escaped by breaking the window of the detention centre. An FIR was registered in this regard at Lohsinghana police station. On Sept 13, 2021, a foreign national lodged in the detention centre escaped. The police have not succeeded in finding him either. Officials of Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Central Jail said that illegal foreign citizens are kept in detention centres. Under Section 3(2)(c) of the Foreigners Act of India, the central govt has the right to expel any illegal citizen from the country. During the process of deportation, such people are kept in these detention centres. In fact, those who do not have documents to stay in the country are kept here and sent back to their country. In the case of the three who escaped, they also completed their sentence. No effort was being made by the Bangladesh govt to bring them back to the country, added jail sources. Therefore, all of them were kept in the detention centre of Hazaribag. Hazaribag SP Anjani Anjan said earlier such incidents occurred at this detention centre. He said, "The three escaped by making their way through the barbed wire on the boundary walls. We are assessing the condition and security of the centre and will take all possible steps to make the security foolproof soon." He added that it was the responsibility of the six jawans deployed there to guard the centre. "All six were suspended due to negligence," he said.

Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina's son visits India to meet her
New Delhi: Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina's US-based son, Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed, is in India to meet his mother, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Wazed, who has emerged as a key voice for the Awami League party, arrived in the country ahead of Eid-ul-Adha in order to celebrate the festival with his mother, currently living in self-exile in New Delhi, the people said on condition of anonymity. Hasina fled to India after the dramatic collapse of the Awami League government in the face of nationwide protests led by student groups last August. She is currently living in a safe house in the heart of the Indian capital. There was no word from Indian officials on the visit by Wazed, an American citizen who is also known by his nickname of Joy. 'Hasina's son is visiting India primarily to celebrate Eid with his mother. He is the first visitor she has received since she arrived in India in August last year,' a person close to the Awami League said. The people said there are currently no plans for Wazed to participate in any public events. Details of his itinerary too are not known, they said. The Indian side is yet to respond to a request from Bangladesh's interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus to extradite Hasina, who is facing charges in multiple criminal cases registered against her. Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal indicted Hasina earlier this month for ordering a police crackdown on protestors last year, and directed authorities to present her before the panel on June 16. Relations between the Indian government and Bangladesh's caretaker administration are currently at an all-time low and the two sides have clashed on Dhaka's handling of the repression on Bangladesh's religious minorities.
