According to the case statement, on Wednesday afternoon Shamsuddin Chowdury's car came under attack at the Paltan area while they were going to Karwanbazar from Motijheel.
"At the same time, there was a procession marching forward to BNP's party office and some people from the process took part in the attack. That is why, 40-50 unnamed BNP men were made accused in the case," said Rafiqul Islam.
Police haven't yet arrested anyone as they are collecting CCTV footage of the surrounding area.
"Once we can identify then surely there will be progress in the case," Deputy Commissioner Enamul Haque added.
