A Dhaka court today asked the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police to submit the probe report in connection with the case filed over the Gulshan café attack by January 22.

Metropolitan Magistrate Sadbir Yeasir Arafat Choudhury passed the order after the CTTC failed to submit the probe report by today.

On October 2, police turned in a probe report to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court in Dhaka with a prayer for relieving Tahmid Hasib Khan, a Bangladeshi student in Canada, of the accusation that he had involvement in the terror attack. 

Tahmid was cleared of the charges against him and walked out on bail after police said they found no evidence of his links to the Gulshan attackers or any other militants in the prayer.

Former private university teacher Hasnat Karim, the only other detainee caught over the incident, stays as the key accused of the case filed over the terrorist attack.

On July 1, the attackers killed 20 hostages -- nine Italian, seven Japanese, two Bangladeshis, one Indian and one Bangladesh-born US citizen -- and two police officers.
