"Usually, someone condemned to death is put into a solitary confinement. Abdul Mazed is a death row convict and so will be placed in a solitary confinement. So, there is no risk," he replied.
Earlier, a team of police's counter terrorism and transnational crime unit, acting on a tip-off, arrested him from Mirpur area around 3.30am on Tuesday.
In the afternoon, Dhaka's Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court passed an order to send him to jail after he was produced before the court.
