"The resort is in a remote area, which the attackers exploited. A case has been filed, and operations are underway to identify and arrest the perpetrators," Gazipur Superintendent of Police Chowdhury Mohammad Jaber Sadeq told The Business Standard on Thursday (29 May).

Police later visited the site and recovered glass fragments, petrol-filled glass bottles tied with twine, and a plastic jerrycan.
Wadud believes the incident might have been an act of intimidation. "Someone may have done this to scare us."
