Gulshan attack: Court seeks probe report by Aug 24
A Dhaka court today ordered Gulshan police to submit by August 24 the probe report in connection with the Holey Artisan Bakery attack that left 22 innocent people including several foreigners dead.
After receiving the first information report of the case, Metropolitan Magistrate Snighda Rani Chakraborty passed the order.
Twenty hostages including nine Italians and seven Japanese were brutally murdered during the chilling siege before the commandoes stormed the popular hangout in Dhaka's diplomatic zone Saturday morning.
Thirteen hostages were rescued while six of the gunmen, who attacked the upscale eatery on Road 79 Friday night, were killed in the 50-minute army-led joint forces operation codenamed "Operation Thunderbolt".
Two police officials were killed and dozens others injured on Friday night when law enforcers in groups attempted to close in on. Global terror outfit Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack through its Amaq news agency, according to the US-based SITE Intelligence Group.
