The press release said, a victim's mother, Ruba Ahmed, lost her lone child Abinta Kabir in the café attack which was a ruthless murder. She does not want any of the incident to be made into public media content which would bring back dreadful memories for her. No reply to the legal notice has been sent back yet.
