    The order means that the Jammat’s assistant secretary general can now be executed anytime, the Daily Star reported.

    Mollah, who is on a death row, has been kept in the Dhaka Central Jail.

    Executions are usually carried out after midnight when the prisoners are kept inside their cells, the report quoted a prison official as saying.

    The official added that anytime after sunset is suitable for the execution.
