Security of Khulna District Jail is now at stake as have been reported to authorities by all intelligence agencies.

According to Jail Superinten-dent Md. Ataur Rahman, a group of dreaded terrorists are involved in conspiracy to escape from the jail with the help of their accomplices outside.

Two underground organisations have a plan to bring out or help their armed cadres break the jail by any means, said the jail superintendent quoting reports of intelligence agencies.

He said Khulna district jail is the first among district jails to use close circuit TV cameras.

Ataur Rahman said dreaded terrorists including 16 prisoners carrying death penalty and a dozen of under-trial prisoners having criminal background are being watched. They are looking for a plea to break the jail, he said.

He claimed that two political organisations are instigating a mutiny inside the jail.
