Saturday’s attack to delay war crime trials: DMP chief
The commissioner urged for public assistance to keep the city a safe place for its dwellers.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia said Saturday’s attack targeting the police might have been launched to delay the war crime trials.
"There is a high chance that this attack was launched in order to delay the war criminals' punishment," he said in a press briefing at DMP Headquarters on Sunday.
“The Holey Artisan attackers were brought to justice. Many other terrorist attacks were also hindered from being successful. The latest attack may be due to vengeful parties’ rage over the police force,” he added.
