Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has ruled out any militant link to the murder of Italian citizen Cesare Tavella.
“The murder was planned and carried out as part of local and foreign conspiracy,” DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia told reporters at his office in city on Thursday afternoon.
Clue behind the murder will be unearthed soon, said the DMP boss.
On September 28, Cesare Tavella, 50, was gunned down by armed criminals in the capital’s Gulshan diplomatic zone.
Hours after the murder, Reuters reported that an online statement in the name of the hardline Islamist group Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.
Tavella worked as the project manager of Profitable Opportunities for Food Security (Proofs), a project of the Netherlands-based organisation ICCO Cooperation.
