Dhaka Metropolitan Police have arrested the acting pro-Vice Chancellor of a private university and two others for sheltering the militants who carried out the Bangladesh’s worst terror attack at a cafe in which 22 people were killed.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Masudur Rahman said, the university’s acting pro-VC Gias Uddin Ahsan, his nephew Alam Chowdhury and one Mahbubur Rahman Tuhin had been arrested yesterday.
He said, the five militants who carried out the attack on the cafe on July 1, had taken shelter in the flat owned by Ahsan.
The other associates of the attackers fled the flat after carrying out the attack. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, though authorities have dismissed the claim.
