Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia on Wednesday said that suspected accomplices of alleged militant Saiful Islam, who blew himself up during Police’s anti-terror ‘Operation August Bite’, could be hiding in the city.
“These militants are incapable of carrying out large scale attack following zero tolerance application of the government.”
DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia told journalists in a briefing
titled “Responsibility to stop sound pollution and hydraulic horns” at the media center on the Minto Road on Wednesday morning.
“Saiful had checked in with his original ID. His mobile number was registered below his name,” Asaduzzaman Mia said this while answering a query on how lawmen had ascertained the identity of the suspected bomber in a press briefing with the end of the operation.
He claimed, Saiful is a member of New Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (Neo-JMB).
Earlier, DMP’s traffic department destroyed 10,000 hydraulic horns on the Minto Road of the capital in presence of DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia, Additional Commissioner Moslehuddin Ahmed and other officers.
In a bid to curb noise pollution, traffic police in the last one year seized 10,000 illegal hydraulic horns and rolled them down on Wednesday morning, added Asaduzzaman Mia.
The commissioner urged people to stop using hydraulic horns as it is very detrimental to patients (when used near hospitals) and is disturbing to school children as well.
Using hydraulic horn is illegal and a punishable offence, but the punishment is very meager, the commissioner said. He urged the authorities concerned to increase the punishment.
He also requested Bangladesh Road and Transport Authority not to issue fitness certificates to vehicles still using hydraulic horns.
Replying to another query that influential people such as ministers, police personnel, VIPs and even journalists sometime break traffic law, Asaduzzaman said, “Whoever they are, if anyone uses the wrong side, they will be punished.”
Saiful Islam was killed in a suicidal blast during the ‘Operation August Bite’ by cops at Hotel Olio International in the capital, some 300 metres from the Bangabandhu Museum where mourners gathered to pay tribute to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the city’s Dhanmondi on Tuesday morning.
