If the former DIG insists on conducting the test in any diagnostic centre outside the country on any ground, he can do it by sending a 'second' sample there, rather than sending the defendants physically abroad, they added.

The press conference was organised by Bangladesh Society for the Enforcement of Human Rights (BSEHR) at Advocate Dr M Zahir's Dhanmondi residence following the Supreme Court's (SC) order issued on Sunday.

The SC order came upon a civil miscellaneous petition for leave appeal filed by BSEHR against the High Court's (HC) order that permitted the DIG, his wife and their septuplets to go to Singapore to conduct the DNA test.

Explaining the SC order at the press conference, Dr Zahir said due to this order they are to comply with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court order to conduct the test in Dhaka Medical College and ensure BSEHR's participation in the whole process of the test.

The CMM's court issued the order responding to BSEHR's filing of a case with Badda Police Station as public suspicion arouse regarding the former DIG's fourteen children including septuplets.

Addressing the press briefing BSEHR President Advocate Alena Khan said to ensure transparency in the whole process of the test BSEHR would take all necessary steps including formation of a medical board prior to the test.

Notably, the BSEHR would bear the expenses of conducting the DNA test of former DIG, her wife and their alleged children.
