‘Investigating whether attack on police was linked to IS’

Senior Correspondent: Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia said that the improvised bomb that exploded in Gulistan on Monday was different from normal crude bombs.

“The incident is being investigated whether the attack on police was carried out by IS members,” he said after visiting injured policemen at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) on Tuesday.

“Those who are involved in the attack will be brought under the purview of law. The other law enforcement agencies of the government along with the police are investigating the incident,” Asaduzzaman said.

Three men, including two traffic police constables, were injured after criminals hurled a cocktail on a police patrol in Gulistan on Monday evening. They are being treated at the DMCH and all three are out of danger.
