No one was being allowed into the mosque on Friday without a thorough check.

bdnews24.com Senior Correspondent Liton Haider said from the spot plainclothes detectives had also been posted.

Former Jamaat-e-Islami chief Azam, who led the anti-liberation forced during the Liberation War, died at the BSMMU on Thursday.

He was serving a 90-year jail term for crimes against humanity.

DMP's Motijheel zone Additional Deputy Commissioner Anowar Hossain said they were keeping a watch to foil any attempt to create disorder over Azam's death.
